The legendary rowing duel on the Vltava River
You can watch the rowing races from both banks of the Vltava River. However, due to the bend below Vyšehrad, only certain spots provide a view of the entire two-kilometer course. Here are our tips on where to watch the race.
1. Rašínovo nábřeží – embankment
This area features the finish line with a large screen displaying footage from the course, a pontoon for announcing the winners, a café and other refreshments, children's attractions, and accompanying programs. Here, you will experience the true racing atmosphere, the tension during the finish, and the joy of the winners.
2. Railway bridge
A unique place where the crews of the University Eights literally pass right under your feet. Watch from the southern footbridge to see how your favorites handle the start, or encourage the crews from the northern footbridge as they approach the finish.
3. Rowing Island
Here you can see the starting preparations of the racers and boats, tactical meetings, the nervousness before the start, and the energy with which the boats set off on the course.
4. Císařská louka
Allows for a close view of the start, and from the northern tip of the island, you can overlook practically the entire racing course.
5. Czech Yacht Club
Another spot from which the entire route is visible.
6. Vyšehrad Walls
A unique "bird's-eye" view of the entire course, combined with amazing views of the Vltava River and Prague Castle.
7. Palackého Bridge
A beautiful view of the finish.
8. Embankment under Hořejší nábřeží on the Smíchov side
A good view of the finish area.
