I want to tell about several interesting excursion services that can be ordered in Prague.
1. The river along the river (boats, boats and catamarans).
In the summer, there are excellent entertainment in Prague - go on the ship by Vltav. The pier are on the left and right of Cechuv MOST.
And the booth with the sale of tickets - is right at the beginning of the bridge. A clock walk on the ship costs about 9-10 euros per person. The route of the ship, on which we swam, was about this: the ship is departed from the pier and floats first to the left - towards Karlova bridge and sails under it. This is the most picturesque part of the path. Beautiful views of Prague Castle, Naberezhnye and Prague Venice (Channel at Camp Island).
Closer to the National Theater, the motor ship unfolds (there are already the thresholds and for them it is impossible to swim). Switching, floats in the opposite direction, sails past the berth of departure and follows it. Neeotesha wins until the next bridge (Stefanikuv) and, without reaching the island, makes a turn. The end of the navigation is there in the same place where the beginning is Cechuv Most. (From there, then you can be very pleased to walk along the embankments).
The upper deck at the walking ship open, and the bottom closed. In the process, something broadcasts the guide, spread (for a fee) drinks and food. In general, swimming is quite pleasant, the photos are beautiful. Especially the photo of the Karlov bridge supports near, as well as photos of chores and people floating on boats and catamarans. By the way, swim along the river on the boat is also a good idea. And there is also the opportunity to swim on the ship with dinner and jazz orchestra. But everything is much more expensive. And there is a mini-boat (as in the photo above).
For boating riding.
Boats and catamarans can be rented, for example, on Slovansky Ostrov. It is right next to the LEGII Bridge and the National Theater (Národní Třída). With boats, however, there is one popular "divorce". You recognize the price, take the boat, ride threesome, and then it turns out that it was the price per person. Therefore, clarify in advance whether the title price is-pen for the entire boat and the final one.
2. Excursions in Prague on segments.
I saw such excursions in Tallinn, and then I saw in Prague. It is now a very popular topic. Seagway is something like a two-wheeled scooter on electricity. He has a gyroscope, so the equilibrium on it is not so difficult on it. But you need to practice slightly. Overall - very cool thing! If you have little time, or you are in Prague passage, then on such a tour of 2 hours you can see all that hiking usually bypass for the whole day. But at the same time not to lose in sensations (like when excursions by bus), and not to get tired.
In Prague, I found a tour of this company (photo "Cowboy" and a route - from their site www.eurosegway.cz).
Excursion options - four (there are Russian-speaking guides):
- For 30 minutes (Old Town + Embankment + Powder Tower + Old Jewish Quarter Josefov + Paris Street + Old Town Square). Price 22 euro / person.
- for 60 minutes (All that is included in 30 minutes + Karlov Bridge + Campa island with park + water mill + Kafka Museum + National Theater + Wenceslas Square + Wall John Lennon), 40 Euro.
- at 90 min. (All attractions of the watch trip + Church of St. Nicholas + Prague Castle with a species platform, where you can make a photo from the height against the background of the whole city), 50 euros.
- For 2 hours (+ Petrshinsky gardens).
All prices per one. And already from 3 people - make discounts. In addition, each free of charge gives a helmet, a raincoat (you never know) and traineled to go to the segregation (learning is an additional 15 minutes by tour of the excursion, enters the price).
3. Inspection of Prague from the balloon.
Next to the kafki museum (near Karlova Bridge) is based on a white round balloon on the leash. It allows two extreme lovers to rise to a height of 60 meters and explore the surroundings from the height. It looks like this (my photo).
In essence, two open seats are attached to the ball (according to the ski lift type). Below a small photo preview, and on the link you can see how it looks directly from the balloon and twist panoramas in all directions: www.360cities.net/image/prague-from-a-balloon
Yes, the price of this adventure in 2013 was 900 Czech crowns on the nose (that is, at the rate of 27.5 = 33 euros). The season this year has already ended, the ball will start working since May 2014. Bowl site: www.baloncentrum.cz/upoutany-balon.html
But, frankly, it seems to me that it is still a bit expensive. More pleasant (and cheaper) just climb on the funicular on Petrshinsky Hill and dine there for this money overlooking Prague :). Moreover, the height of the hill is significantly higher than the ball rises (the hill is 300 meters high, and the restaurant is somewhere at the meter mark 150-200). But for lovers of extreme and those who are not afraid to ride in the open cabins of the Ferris Wheel "Moscow-850", the ball will also probably be interesting.
