Overview
Střelecký Island is a historic 2.5-hectare retreat located right in the center of Prague, positioned between Slavic and Children’s Islands under the Legion Bridge. Known historically as a site for archers and shooters since the era of Charles IV, it has evolved over centuries from a shooting ground into a peaceful, tree-shaded public park. Visitors today enjoy a rare, quiet atmosphere right on the surface of the Vltava River, providing exceptional views of the city. The island continues to host various cultural events, including festivals and concerts, while retaining its old-time character. It remains a prime destination for those looking for a calm space to sit, walk, or simply view the city from a different perspective near the river.
