The Vltava River flows from the Southern border of the Czech Republic through Prague to the Northern border. The river runs through many of the country's small historical towns and is dammed at a number of points. Sailing, canoeing, picnics and swimming are very popular during the summer and fishermen can be seen almost all times of the year on both the banks and in boats. Water views always hold a special magic for visitors and this is no exception in Prague .
