Slovanský ostrov, River island in New Town, Czech Republic.
The Slovanský ostrov extends 350 meters along the Vltava River, featuring landscaped gardens and paths between Jirásek Bridge and Legion Bridge.
The island grew to its present size after the flood of 1784, leading to protective walls construction and development as a cultural center.
The neo-Renaissance Žofín Palace on the island served as a concert hall where Richard Wagner conducted performances in 1863.
Visitors can rent boats for 300 CZK per hour to explore the Vltava River while enjoying views of Prague from different angles.
The island changed names multiple times, from Barvířský to Žofín, before receiving its current name Slovanský in recognition of a Slavic convention.
