The Fireworks Experience

Prague's skyline explodes with color at midnight. What makes the river view superior is the reflection. The fireworks mirrored in the Vltava double the visual impact. Being on the river near Charles Bridge or near the Letná hillside gives you a panoramic view of both the official displays and the thousands of amateur fireworks set off across the city hills.

Essential Booking Tips

• Book Early: The best boats (especially glass boats) sell out by November.
• Check Inclusions: Verify strictly if drinks are "unlimited" or "paid". NYE prices can be high, so know what you are getting.
• Transport: Remember that taxis are impossible to find at 1 AM on NYE. Check if your boat docking location is near a metro or tram line (which usually runs all night in Prague on NYE).

Celebrate the start of 2026 in unforgettable style!
