Masarykovo nábřeží, Riverfront and street in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
Masarykovo nábřeží stretches along the right bank of the Vltava River, connecting Jirásek Bridge to Legion Bridge in central Prague. The waterfront is lined with grand buildings and offers several pedestrian bridge connections to Slovanský Island.
The quay received its current name in 1990 to honor Tomáš Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia. The stone embankment as it stands today was built in 1903, replacing the water mills that once operated along this riverbank.
The waterfront features striking neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque buildings, including the National Theatre and the Mánes Fine Arts Association. Walking along here, you notice how these grand structures face the river and give the area a cultural hub atmosphere.
The waterfront has regular tram service and road traffic, making it easy to reach and navigate. You can walk in different directions along here to explore the surrounding area at your own pace.
Many visitors overlook that several water mills operated here until the 19th century, playing an important role in the area's economy. Today, only the wide riverbank remains as a reminder of this past industrial activity.
