Posted by Smichov is a district of Prague, seen from the Old Town on the other side of the Vltava River. Much more often tourists on this side of the river visit the more northern and centrally located district of Lesser Town with Prague Castle and other important sights. Prague-Smichov is a relatively normal district with rather few tourists. There are still inexpensive Czech restaurants and also some sights. The fastest way to get to Smichov is by metro (subway), you get off at the station “Andel” and you are in the middle of the Prague district Smichov.
Best seller: Boat tour Prague with dinner (buffet)
It is perhaps the most popular tour in Prague. A 3-hour boat trip in the evening on the Vltava River with great buffet dinner included. Great modern ship with lots of glass for best view, open top deck for photography, good food, very good reviews from participants. Price under 50 euros per person, window seat only a few euros more. Our recommendation for a cruise on the Vltava River.

Sights in Smichov

You can book the brewery tour with one beer, with tasting of 4 different beers (option with tasting) or additionally with a typical Czech meal (tasted good to us). >>>> Link to booking and more info
