The city lights slide into view as the boat eases away from the quay and the Vltava begins to mirror a row of Gothic spires and baroque roofs. On an evening cruise from central Prague, the river becomes a moving platform for the city’s best angles — the stone grace of Charles Bridge, the layered roofs of Old Town, and the castle silhouette rising on the hill.
