The 15 Best Vltava River Cruises in Prague

30 reviewed

An hour on the water is the cheapest good hour in Prague, and the bridges look entirely different from underneath. The Vltava cruises worth booking: the short sightseeing runs, the dinner boats with the open glass roof, and the late ones that go out once the castle floodlights come on.

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 4,235 reviews · 3 hours · from $61

Prague at night on the Vltava with a 3-hour buffet dinner cruise, Charles Bridge views, Kampa Island stops, Dancing House lights, and Castle glow.

“I really enjoyed my night on this cruise, the food was delicious, the staff member serving me was friendly and the views of the city lit up at night, especially the Charles Bridge was absolutely breathtaking. If like myself, you booked a 3 hour cruise with buffet included, I'd recommend to relax and enjoy your meal 1st before later on admiring the views as the cruise makes starts making its very long and slow journey back to dock. If you're coming to Prague I urge you to do this, otherwise you are missing out.”

“Great hop on hop off bus tour and river cruise. We did the 48 hours and tried both the red line and the green line. We preferred the green line as it went round the centre of Prague and you could see the incredible landmarks up close. The red line is less of a sightseeing bus and more of a bus to get you to the top attractions, e.g. the stop called “Prague Castle” was where to get off to go to the castle but we couldn’t actually see it. This is fine for some but we were using the buses to see the landmarks as we didn’t have much…”

“We took the late evening cruise, so we could see the illuminations. The cruise was a short ride on the Vltava river, but was nice and enjoyable. We are vegetarians, so cruise for dinner didnot work for us, but if you donot have dietary restrictions, the three hour long cruise with dinner is enjoyable. The weather and view, both were nice. Booking and ticketing was both very easy and the options on get your guide app, were not there anywhere else. Enjoyable trip, for sure.”
