Smetanovo Nábřeží Prague

Relax with great view

Martin from Prague

""Smetanovo Nábřeží" in Prague, named after the famous classical composer Bedřich Smetana, is the right river bank of Vltava. I like to enjoy the view here"

Smetanovo Nábřeží, named after the famous classical composer Bedřich Smetana, is the right river bank of Vltava between two bridges - Most legií and Charles bridge. It used to be a free sandy space gradually slanting to the riverbank with fisherman's lodges and crooked trees. In the 19th century Prague's first stone river bank was built here. Now this place is kind of touristy – a place to take a picture of Prague castle and Charles bridge - but I like to sit here on a bench on the sidewalk adjacent to the river and enjoy the lively street.

In the last few years the river banks in Prague have become full of life (especially Rašínovo nábřeží is full of locals – check the article) and I have to recommend a walk alongside the river starting from Smetanovo nábřeží through Masarykovo nábřeží to Rašínovo nábřeží.

The interest and growing inclination of people to spend time on the river banks is also seen in the future plan for Smetanovo nábřeží – it will be a broad boulevard closed off to cars and trams with plenty of cafés and shops.

When I have a free time I try to relax myself in different ways – playing with my jazz band, learning languages, drawing with oil paints, taking photos and especially getting to know new interesting places. Why Prague? Prague can be loved because of a lot of things. I love the tiny little streets in the city centre which always lead you somewhere you've neve...

Libeňský Most

Widely discussed object

Modernist, cubist "Libeňský Most" in Prague has never been reconstructed... I like the contrast it creates with the surrounding nature.

Hlávkův Most

Storytelling set in stone

"Hlávkův Most" in Prague offers nice views over the Vltava and Štvanice Island - but don't miss the sculptures Práce a humanita, or Labour and Humanity...
