Ostrov in the Sun.
I need a beach. NOW!
Fine. I'm in a landlocked country. Maybe there is no ocean anywhere nearby, but at least I can have the comfort of laying next to running water. And with a few exceptions, where else can I do that and get a view of a castle.
Střelecký Ostrov (Island) sits in the middle of Prague with the Vltava River flowing calmly around it. People take out paddle boats from there and sit downtown without being bombarded by the tourist horde. They occasionally host festivals from this place, however I prefer it as a tranquil retreat from the chaos of uhhh life.
Check it out, bring a beer and relax.
