JAZZ SHOWS IN PRAGUE
This is the shortlist you would send a friend who asked what to book: 4 jazz shows in Prague, each with its price, its audience verdict and the one thing to know before committing an evening.
Head to Reduta Jazz Club at Národní 20 for a live jazz concert in Prague’s famous venue, open since 1957. Expect a small, atmospheric room, reserved seating, a traditional bar, and the chance to try beer poured from a golden saxophone. VIP tickets include the best seats and a welcome drink.
“Incredible professionalism and flair - coming from NYC I had high expectations, and these really blew them away!”
Board the Jazz Boat at ponton No. 18 for a 150-minute cruise through central Prague. You’ll hear three live jazz sets with two breaks, pass Charles Bridge and other riverside sights, and choose an optional three-course chicken, pork, salmon, or vegetarian dinner. Drinks cost extra, and some tables are shared.
“the meal was lovely, the band were really good and the views just stunning”
Spend 2.5 hours on Prague’s Vltava River with three live jazz sets, a three-course dinner option, and city views from the indoor cabin or upper deck. The small boat seats about 34 people, with music led on some evenings by Petre’s trio. Choose an early or late sailing, and bring warm clothes for time outside.
“when they say jazz you never sure what you get but this was real jazz without a song i knew - very intimate with only 20 plus seats - great food - lucie and the team great - made a fuss of our wedding anniversary- great entertainment if you like REAL jazz”
Take a 50-minute cruise from Terminal 18, Albatros II, along Prague’s Vltava River. From the upper deck, you’ll see Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, the National Theatre, Kampa, and Old Town while soft recorded jazz plays. Czech and English commentary identifies the sights, and you can buy drinks and snacks on board.
“it was beautiful, the music was nice and the commentary was pretty informative - also the timing was great, right before sunset so the dark blue sky and the yellow city lights were so picturesque!”
Pick a room, a city or a kind of evening.
