The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Prague, Bohemia
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Entrance is off the street, just past the Wallenstein Palace, then go in beside the Furstenburg Palace. Before climbing the steps, and hidden round the side, is the entrance kiosk, where you pay just a few Kcs. You slowly climb steps, towards the castle walls, getting better views at each level. From the top level, you can see over most of Mala Strana. As another reviwer stated, we also found a small wedding group here for photos.

Lovely park with beautiful views looking down to the old town areas. Big and clean park and nice paths. Very possible to walk from old town to the park. Many public transports to get there. There are two very big beer gardens indifferent location of the park, both with fantastic views. Most evenings have musics. We were there till quite late at night, I was told by my friends who live in the area that people stay in the park till morning during weekends and holidays.

Prague Zoological Garden is situated near the center of the Czech capital, in a unique rugged landscape on the bank of the Vltava River. It opened in 1931 and during its existence of more than 80 years it has risen to become one of the most prestigious zoos in the world. Today, it is the second most visited tourist destination in the Czech Republic, just after Prague Castle. 5,049 animals and 676 species live in Prague Zoo. You can explore 13 pavilions and 150 exhibits over 58 hectares. The kids will love the Bororo Reserve, chairlift, mini-train, observation tower, paddling pool and Children’s Zoo. The pride of the zoo is its Elephant Valley, home to a sizeable herd of Asian elephants. The Giant Salamander House, where you can see the largest amphibians in the world – the critically endangered Chinese Giant Salamanders – is extraordinary as well; and the African House with an adjacent vast meadow inhabited by herds of antelopes and giraffes is worth your attention, too.

A great day, discount tickets (over 60) we got there and first saw the polar bear happily swimming around, and next enjoyed the Hippos swimming and playing, the elephants were sunning themselves, the giant tortoises were stamping around, but most impressive were the feeding lions and tigers, inside on display up close through the armoured glass. There were penguins, vultures, mountain goats, giraffes, but our highlight were the lions and tigers Fully recommended

We went to this place as it was on my itinerary and the bonus was my year old was napping in his buggy and it was noon time, hence perfect to sit down and grab something to eat till then. We went inside and were welcomed by this huge beautfiul pond, we found a place to sit under a tree and into the shade to take a break from the sun. It was nice and breezy with trees around. Loads of big koi fish's in the pond. once my toddler was up, he enjoyed thoroughly walking and running around the pond, looking at all the fish and the white peacock too. once done from that area, we made our way down near the palace, its nice and huge and the views are beautiful and scenic with Prague castle in the view. nice and well maintained gardens. Lots of open space for kids to burn their energy running around. We had an enjoyable afternoon there.

When you descend from Vyshgrad Castle with steep stairs, you reach the Vlatava River side. When you head east to see the urban texture from here, it is absolutely necessary to visit Charles University's Botanical Garden (Botanická zahrada) in a very close distance .. The most important of the "Beautiful City" principles is that there are parts of nature that can immediately escape and take shelter in the crowd and density of the city. Botanická zahrada is also a place to relax, learn, have fun and please all the senses. The Botanical Garden is large and covers almost 70 hectares. The Prague botanical garden is an oasis of peace and tranquility. There is a vast territory with giant trees, herb gardens, greenhouses, open-air exhibitions with various gardens and vineyards. Open exhibitions cover a very large area. I walked along a beautiful stony path while watching the plants. The garden is located on a hill and many paths run up and down the hill. The botanical garden reveals beautiful views of the landscape and plants. St. With exhibition spaces such as Clara's historic vineyards, a Japanese meditation garden, and the unique tropical Fata Morgana Greenhouse, it is truly worth a visit. Divided into three separate regions with different temperature and humidity rates, the 130 m long greenhouse offers a journey in tropical nature at any time of the year.
