The Golden City, Prague, and the charming, unspoiled countryside of Bohemia await you on this journey by boat and bike along Elbe and Vltava rivers. You will follow the two rivers from the capital of the former Bohemian kingdom to the northwest. Baroque castles, green glowing vineyards and the impressive confluence of the Vltava and Elbe rivers at Mělník lie along your route.

Don't miss to try the tasty Czech beer and the delicious wine from Bohemia!

You can use the morning to take a tour of Prague's Old Town before getting on your bike at noon. The first stage of your boat and bike trip will take you along the Vltava River, also called the Bohemian Sea, via the Baroque castle and the National Painting Gallery in Troy to Klecánky. Over green high banks of the Vltava you will reach Kralupy.
First you cycle along the Vltava River to Nelahozeves. Here you will see not only the birthplace of Antonín Dvořák, but also the magnificent Renaissance chateau with an impressive art collection. Passing the Veltrusky Park, you will then cycle to Mělník. Here, in the center of wine growing in Bohemia, you will return to your ship in the early afternoon. The MS Florentina will now take you on the Elbe toward your destination of the day, Litoměřice, which you will reach in the evening.
The whole day is at your disposal to explore the royal city of Litoměřice. You can join a guided tour (not included) or strike out on your own. Colorful Renaissance and Baroque buildings, as well as the Gothic city fortifications that encompass them, make the place unique. Alternatively, you can take a trip by bike to the nearby Terezín Memorial. If you want to be sporty, you can cycle to Ústí nad Labem and back. The 55 kilometers of cycling are especially scenic: a beautiful region cut by the Elbe River in the Bohemian Gate and passing from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains to the Bohemian Uplands.
Early in the morning, the MS Florentina departs for the starting point of today's cycling stage in Roudnice. It's back to Mělník, where you can enjoy a wonderful view over the confluence of the Vltava and Elbe rivers from the castle hill. Enjoy the rural idyll of Bohemia once again on the way to your stage destination.
Today you will cycle along the Vltava River back to Prague. Since you already know the route from the second day of your journey by boat and bike along Elbe, you can of course stay on board and enjoy the landscape from the sun deck. In the Czech capital you can once again enjoy the buzzing life of the metropolis so rich in culture and history. Walk in the footsteps of Kafka, visit one of the unique museums or soak up the impressions of your vacation and Prague in one of the many cafes on the banks of the Vltava River.
Today you will cycle to the Prague district of Zbraslav, located a few kilometers up the Moldau River. On the way, stop at Vyšehrad, one of the most famous early medieval castle ramparts in Bohemia. The fortress sits on a cliff steeply above the bank of the Vltava River, which since the early 20th century can be traversed by a tunnel. Upon your return to the MS Florentina, you can spend a final evening in Prague.
