Prague River Cruise to Devil’s Channel
Cruise on the Certovka

Enjoy a fairytale cruise through the most picturesque channel in all of Prague.

Touristy places are great because we know that means there are lots of things to see. But for this river cruise, let’s get away from the tourists and take one of the more romantic and quieter boats.

The Certovka, or Devil's Channel, is part of the canal that separates Lesser Town from Kampa Island. It's a historic district of Prague that used to contain water mills and there's even one still in operation that you will float by. While you cruise down this narrow little channel, medieval homes seem to sprout straight out of the water. The views are pretty and you’re away from the tourists. Win win!

This river cruise is one of those times where bigger isn’t always better. The Devil’s Channel is quite narrow so it’s only a few of the boats that can actually get down it. The Elvira or Mistr Jan Hus are a few of the boats that go down the Devil’s Channel.

• Prague River Cruise will first take you down the Vltava River and then down the Devil’s Channel. You get a unique experience and actually learn a lot about the history of the Devil’s Channel and Prague since the captains of the boat are knowledgeable about the area.
• There’s a reason they call it “mini-Venice” because of the beautiful buildings coming straight out of the water. Views you can only get on the smaller boats that can enter the Devil’s Channel.
• The Channel itself has been named after a woman with a Devilish Character. Ask your captain for more information about that story while cruising down the river. The story is quite interesting!
