Only parts of the river are navigable without restrictions and locks have to be passed over and over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Prague, the Vltava flows in a somewhat broader and winded river bed. Many bridges link both sides, the most famous one is the Charles Bridge in Prague. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By chance, we have discovered a beautiful viewing point, which we had apparently visited once before in 1992. A look at the images proves that we were in almost the exact same spot. And that not much has changed there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\" data-id=\"10197\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/czech-republic\/prague\/vltava-river-in-prague\/attachment\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992\/\" class=\"wp-image-10197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-1992-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">1992<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\" data-id=\"10199\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/czech-republic\/prague\/vltava-river-in-prague\/attachment\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015\/\" class=\"wp-image-10199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-ueber-die-moldau-2015-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">2015<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first picture is from 1992 and the second picture is from 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, during our visit to Prague, we had planned to go on a boat trip. But &#8230; we didn\u2019t get around to it. The tours offered at the landings in the Prague centre are not cheap and, that\u2019s even more crucial, very short. Most journeys end directly behind the Charles Bridge or, in the opposite direction, only three bridges further down at the Stef\u00e1nikuvmost Bridge. Walking on the banks takes about 30 minutes and gets you to the very same spots. Longer tours are rarely even offered because time-consuming passages through the ship locks are necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/hoehenunterschied.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-zur-burg.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to experience the feeling of being on a boat, you can spend the night in one of the hotel ships or enjoy a good meal there in the evening. These ships are fixed to their landing and offer a variety of comfort classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/hotelschiffe.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/blick-zum-kafka-museum.jpg\" alt=\"The Vltava River in Prague\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We find the Moldau is in Prague easy to see and in the evening on the way to the hotel gladly ran along the bank.
