• Life jackets for kids and non-swimmers are lent at the dock, so ask for the right size before you push off
• Open in good weather only, so on a rainy or stormy day the dock stays shut
• Boats for one to six people, so a whole family fits in one pedal boat

Slovanka is a long-running boat rental on Slovanský ostrov, the Vltava island that holds Žofín Palace. Families take out wooden rowing boats, pedal boats for up to six, or the swan-shaped pedal boat, with Charles Bridge and Prague Castle in view from the water.

Life jackets for children and non-swimmers are on hand, and the dock kiosk sells drinks and snacks. Evening trips come with a kerosene lantern.
