Neighbourhood information

Outstanding quiet location in Cisarska louka island - close to the heart of the Prague. We provide a small boat with electric engine (no license necessary), free parking spot in a private area, just few steps of the houseboat. For those of you, who like the touch of the nature, you can feed swans from the terrace and observe other species in their natural habitat. The view from a terrace is partly industrial, but at the night time full of calm magic. Cisarska louka island is located in Prague Smichov area and you can make trip on the river by the boat (the small electric boat we provide is slow and you don't need to have a boat's license). It takes from our place about 40 min to Manes/Jazz Dock (this is the ultimate place, where you can sail without license, then is the weir and lock chambers) - please, note - officially is not allowed to moor the boat in downtown. You can also use taxi/UBER (8-10 EUR) or public transport (30 CZK/person). Closest tram station „Lihovar“ is about 800 meters by walk and then 15 min by tram without changing line you can get just few steps to Charles Bridge (tram station "Malostranske namesti”). Another option during season is ferry and you can cross the river from the peak of the island (about 1 km by walk), and then by walk passing the river, or continue by tram by the riverbank to the downtown. We prepared for our guests guide with all important informations. The biggest advantage of our neighborhood is everybody can choose what he likes. You can take the boat to cruise the river and explore Prague from different perspective, relax on nearby driving range or just relax at the patio - small barbecue is available (we do not provide coal). Just find the best date for your trip and visit our place!
