More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river hushes the city and the Vltava dares you to slow down — lights wink, bridges stride across the water, and a low brass intro fills the evening air. On the Jazzboat cruise, you float past the Old Town and Prague Castle as a trio or quartet lays down three live sets, turning the river into a moving club where stone facades become a changing backdrop.
