Enjoy the Kampa island on the Vltava

Kampa (also called Na Kampě) is an island on the banks of the Vltava River, located in Prague's Mala Strana district. Charles Bridge crosses the northern end and is connected to the island by Na Kampě Street. It is separated from the Malá Strana district by a narrow artificial canal in the west, the Čertovka, a small stream dug to supply the water mills (which no longer work). Kampa Island is also called the "Venice of Prague" and has been voted the second "most beautiful urban island in the world" according to a ranking by the Virtual Tourist platform.

Čertovka

The name Čertovka, meaning "Devil's Tongue", is due to a sharp-tongued woman who lived in a local house called the Seven Demons.

The island of Kampa, together with the Čertovka, is also called the "Little Venice of Prague", thanks to its canals, windmills and picturesque residences.

On Kamp Island you will also find the Kampa Museum, a modern art gallery with works from Central Europe and mainly Czech. The pieces come from the private collection of Meda Mládek, wife of Jan V. Mládek. Opened in 2003, the museum is housed in a former water mill on the eastern shore of the island. You will also find the Estonian Embassy in the park.

In the park you will also find some works of art from the collection "Babies" by David Černý Sculptures that are supposed to represent babies but where the face has been replaced by a barcode.

In the quiet Kampa park you can enjoy the peace and quiet and that makes it the ideal place for a picnic adventure. At the same time, however, there is also plenty to see, so the eye also gets something.
