Top attractions that you will see along your tour include Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, National Theatre, Rudolfinum Concert Hall, Petřín Hill, the Dancing House and Vyšehrad Castle, in addition to several other places.

This tour costs between 400 and 700 czk depending on which company you book the tour with and if you have decided to have lunch on the boat. The tickets for children cost slightly lesser and usually differ by a value of 100. There is also the option of going on an afternoon cruise tour with high tea as the meal offered on board the boat. Music lovers can take up the jazz cruise tour which will feature a live jazz band aboard the craft playing for you.

Guests will find that the boats themselves are very comfortable and are well maintained, with meals being served below deck.
