Náplavka Riverbank
Náplavka
The riverbank south of the Dancing House, with barge bars, a weekend farmers' market and summer night parties. It is where locals come to live their everyday lives.
Náplavka is a riverside promenade below the Rašín Embankment in the New Town, running south from the Dancing House to the foot of Vyšehrad. Moored along it are barges converted into bars, galleries and restaurants. On Saturday mornings (about 8:00–14:00) there is a large farmers' market, where you can buy fresh bread, cheese and street food. On summer nights the riverbank fills with young people drinking beer, and open-air music and film screenings occasionally take place. It can be combined with the Dancing House and Vyšehrad into a half-day walking route. The riverbank may close during heavy rain or floods.
Opening hours
Open all day (market Saturdays approx. 08:00–14:00)
