Boat Trips
While adults might enjoy the
old-fashioned (and more
romantic) rowboats, children
prefer the splashing, pedalling
action of the miniature
paddleboats that travel up and
down the Vltava. Numerous
vendors rent boats and sell
tickets in the vicinity of Charles
Bridge (see pp18-19) . Take all
the usual precautions that no
one goes overboard, accidentally
or otherwise.
Black Light Theatre
There is an abundance of
Black Light shows around the
Old Town (see p65) , but the best
is at Divadlo Ta Fantastika. So
long as the kids don't mind
strange images suddenly
popping out of the dark, the
brilliant displays should keep
them mesmerized. d Divadlo Ta
Fantastika, Karlova 8 • Map K4
Boat on the Vltava
Historic Tram No. 91
The old-fashioned streetcar
runs a circuit around the city in
about 30 minutes, with much
ringing of bells. A friendly
conductor will take your K≤25
fare and you can hop on and off
at any stop on the route, including
Malostránská and Národní divadlo
(see p65) . Very handy when you
can't face walking another step.
For those who are planning ahead,
the end station is V†stavi√t∂,
scene of more excitement.

K∫i≈ík Fountain
First, bring a sweater.
Second, don't sit too close to the
water. Third, sit back and enjoy
the show. The dancing water-and-
light show's musical
accompaniment varies from
classical to pop to Disney tunes.
The Prague Post (see p128) lists
the programme in its weekly
calendar (see p117) .
V†stavi√t∂
In addition to K∫i≈ík Fountain,
the Prague exhibition grounds
are home to the
Lunapark carnival:
ferris wheels, roller-
coasters and similar
other rides will toss
and turn the kids for
hours, and, if they can
still stomach it, there's
even candy floss
(cotton candy). The fun
begins in March and
carries on through the
warmer summer
months (see p117) .
