Today, between Christmas and New Year, we will walk with you in Prague along the Smetana embankment of the Vltava River. What stunning views of the city will open to us!

The Smetana Embankment in the Old Town of Prague runs along the right bank of the Vltava from the Legion Bridge to Charles Bridge. It is named after the world-famous Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, who had a music school here in the Lažanský Palace in 1868–1869.

The Smetana Embankment was built between 1841-1845; it was initially called Old Town Embankment, later, in 1894, it was renamed to Františe Embankment, and from 1919 it was called Masaryk Embankment. During World War II, it held two names; between 1940-1942, it was the Vltava Embankment and then from 1942-1945 Reinhard Heydrich Ufer. It had the name of the first president of Czechoslovakia, T.G. Masaryk, again after the war, and later it got its current name – Smetana Embankment.

Named after Bedřich Smetana, a prolific and distinguished Czech composer, the embankment is an ideal area for strolls, relaxing, sunbathing, and boasts a magnificent view of Prague Castle, especially in the morning or evening, when the sun is low. At night this area becomes alive with clubbing as the endless bars and clubs open up to locals and tourists. You won't regret going out and spending the night dancing in one of the famous clubs.
