České Budějovice lies at the confluence of the Vltava and Malše rivers—and this unique location invites you to view the city from a whole new perspective on the water.

THE TWELVE-SEATER BOAT "SV. ROZÁLIE" OFFERS:

Regular Ferry Line: Sokolský Ostrov – Malý Jez

This scheduled route connects Sokolský Island with the recreational area near Malý Jez. The trip provides views of the city from the water and the option to disembark by the children's playground or the Samson Brewery Garden.

Guided Historical Cruises

An approximately 4 km / 40-minute guided cruise running from the blind arm of the Malše River across the confluence, through Jiráskův Jez, past the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Stromovka Park, sports stadiums, and other landmarks all the way to Luční Jez. You will see the city’s oldest surviving monuments—historic fortifications, medieval bastions, iconic bridges, and unique architecture hidden from view on land.
