Prague by candlelight and the zoo with children

Prague sightseeing cruises of various lengths and various specializations are offered in the capital by several companies. It’s best to choose directly on site, on the Prague waterfront between Palacký bridge and Jirásek bridge, where most boats dock. You can go beyond the boundaries of Prague to the confluence of the two largest Czech rivers, the Vltava and the Elbe, to historically rich Mělník. The romantic cruises of Prague-Venice also go through the Old Town underground, providing views of the capital both in the summer and winter. You can order a cruise just for yourself and your friends and even have a BBQ in view of the most beautiful sights of Prague. With the little ones, don’t miss out on a cruise to the Prague Zoo, one of the largest and most admired in Europe.

When: all year round

Cost: from € 5 (voyage to the Zoo)
