Take a break for massive tourist crowds and the hustle and bustle of Prague! This green island…read moreoasis in the middle of Vltava River offers a green, tree filled, serene, and natural break from urban jungles of Prague. Friday through Sundays are free concerts by local musicians. A smaller farmers market of wineries, breweries, and food purveyors setup to sell food and drink...a lovely way to spend the evening away from the mass crowds. The crowd seemed to be mostly locals!
You might see some local swans...but most importantly in the afternoons you'll see the invasive but ridiculously cute species of Nutria roaming around the waters. They look like small capybaras or beavers...so adorable! Technically they are disease carrying rodents and the city government discourages feeding them, but some locals fed them apples and leaves. Try to resist!
