PRAGUE Czech Republic - Devil's Channel BOAT Tour - 4K

Join me on a Prague boat tour and experience 3000 years of history from a unique perspective. Out on the River Vltava, we escaped the crowds and were treated to unobstructed views of iconic landmarks such as Charles Bridge and Prague Castle.
The boat travels starts on the River Vltava but then diverts up Certivka (or Devil's Channel) through an area known as Prague's Venice.
Prague has been my favourite city since my first visit here in around 1990. The Gothic buildings are like something out of a fairy tale, and I don't think any other city has the same concentration of historic buildings.
