Cisarska louka island is located in Prague Smichov area and you can make trip on the river by the boat (the small electric boat we provide is slow and you don't need to have a boat's license). It takes from our place about 50 min to Manes/Jazz Dock (this is the ultimate place, where you can sail without license, then is the weir and lock chambers) - please, note - officially is not allowed to moor the boat in downtown. By UBER/Bolt (8-10 EUR) or public transport (30 CZK/person) you can get in 15 min to main tourist locations. Closest tram station „Lihovar“ is about 800 meters by walk and then 15 min by tram without changing line you can get just few steps to Charles Bridge (tram station "Malostranske namesti”). Another option during season is ferry and you can cross the river from the peak of the island (about 1 km by walk), and then by walk passing the river, or continue by tram by the riverbank to the downtown.
