from/to Prague By bike & boat 2019 - Czech Republic - MS Florentina
The Czech Republic, the small country in the heart of Europe, impresses with its original river landscapes, picturesque villages and romantic castles, whose history and architecture can often be traced back to the middle Ages. Prague, known also as „the Golden City“and „the City of a Hundred Spires“, is both point of departure and final destination for this beautiful bike and boat tour along the Upper Moldova, in Czech called Vltava, and the huge Elbe River –when the bridges of the Vltava River are ablaze with sunlight and the spires of the castle sparkle in the light, then it becomes obvious that Prague has its nick name ”golden” with good reason! Multifaceted and unique, modern and at the same time aware of tradition –discover one of Europe’s most beautiful metropolis with its old town listed as UNESCO world heritage site. The MS Florentina moors close to the Charles Bridge and is therefore an ideal springboard for exploring this gorgeous city –the marvelously restored market place, the busy Wencelslas Square or the Jewish quarter are waiting for you. And you will not be missing out on good food –beer and roast pork with dumplings, just to name one of the many specialties –when you are on the move with your bike do not miss to have a break and enjoy an original Czech amber nectar.
