How bad is the Prague flooding going on (current as of June 2013)?
What impact will the flooding in Prague have on the trip I am planning at the end of June, and should I reschedule?
Best Answer
The water level in Vltava fell down considerably since the culmination on 4 June. There are still some restrictions on mass transit and for example some metro stations in the city center are still closed. Though I would expect most of those restrictions to be gone by the end of the month.
UPDATE: All metro stations are now open. The temporary flood walls are still up (at least on some places), not sure why.
