Kralupy nad Vltavou

Understand

Kralupy nad Vltavou is a satellite town 27 km to the north of Prague. A visit makes for an interesting break from the capital to see what life is like away from the main city. The town is divided by the Vltava (Moldau) river. The western half hosts the station and older central area and the eastern half has many high-rise apartment blocks.

Getting there

Regional trains regularly run the scenic 25 km along the Vltava River from central Prague's Masarykovo station (30 min, 43 Kč).
