The area
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.
How to get there
- Charles' Square • 6 min walk
- national Ave • 8 min walk

The Island is right across from the National theater. Great to visit in the summer, because there is the spot to rent the boats. It is fun to watch people to stay afloat.
Just a perfect place to escape the crowds in any season.
Children friendly restaurant and playground , great location , convenient for families .

So many things to do on this Island for adults as well as children.
Just stroll close by the river on a sunny day, sit on benches under the tall shade providing trees or go to a restaurant for lunch or dinner. The place is especially suited for taking a break with kids, who cannot wait to drink and eat and play before or after the meal.
There is an inside and an outside playground and we spent a nice time there with our Prague's part of family. Their young children had a great time at the playground.

Slovansky Ostrov is a welcoming island offering lots of activities, some for families with children. Lunches and dinners are served in the Zofin Palace.
We like to come for a restful walk by the river and on an occasion rent out an old-fashioned row boat - very inexpensive and a great fun on a hot day.
Have some fun ...we did !
Row, row, row your boat....

There are three easily accessible islands on the Vltava and this is the one where you can hire row boats or pedalos. We hired a pedalo for four of us for 200cek for an hour. It was mid afternoon and we had a short wait 10-15min before one was available, but it was no bother. We used S.P.L.A.V at the tip of the island. They have a separate bar where you can chill after your river exertions and watch all the other pedalos as the sun beats down on you.

What a great little park for a quiet sit down. There’s also lots for the kids to do if you have them with a well equipped play area and a little children’s train

Slovansky Ostrov is a beautiful island in the Vltava River and Zofin is a beautiful building on the island, constructed in 1884 ,the Zofin Palace was a noted music venue with such luminaries as Wagner, Liszt, Berloiz,Dvorak and Tchalsky who were some of the top composer's of the day and who's compositions are still cherished, the island itself offers amazing views of the Vltava River and the beautiful architecture both sides of the river, if you're planning a holiday to Prague I highly recommend you seek out this cute little island New Town ( Nove Mesto ) side of the Vltava River.

Slovansky Ostrov is the rather beautiful little park area that all year around is a great place to view .
In the summer it's alive with people renting little boats to explore the Vltava River,in the winter is a great place to view especially if the snow has been falling which it was when I visited in December ,views of Zofin Palace ,Mains Gallery ,water towers and the river itself make it a wonderful place to visit ,it's a park area most definitely well worth checking out of you're in the area.

Directly in front of National Theatre is this island where you can rent a small boat and spent an enjoyable hour on river, just mind the big boats, otherwise you are in trouble ))

Only takes a few minutes to walk around this little island on the river. Nice little parkland area with benches and easy to walk footpaths. Also kids play area. Worth 10 minutes or so of your time.

On our way to the Dancing Building, we were side tracked to this island. The island is right at Masarykovo nábř and facing the Vltava River. The island has a few buildings, like The Building Manes, a hundred year oid Šítkovská water tower and Žofín Building. There is a café and restaurant and a nice park. We had a quiet relaxing walk right after a rain shower. Not many people were using the park and no kids were in the playground but the view was great from the park. We spent half an hour there.
Happy Travelling!
