In the Náplavka area of the river, a farmer’s market is held every Saturday where you can buy local produce, baked goods, pottery and crafts along the river.
Bars as well as old docked ships that have been turned into bars and floating restaurants line the river during the spring and summer where you can drink and eat the typical Czech dishes to accompany a beer.

Reviews Vltava River
“Tour gives a good overview of places to see and bonus of the river cruise to see the city from a different angle. It doesn’t take you inside the castle nor inside the old/new synagogue in the Jewish quarter - time does not allow - otherwise very informative and worthwhile”
