Among the south-facing ‘Southern Gardens’ (Jižní zahrady), the ‘Paradise’ (Rajská) and ‘On the Ramparts’ (Na Valech) gardens are open to the public. Their current shape is true to their original 1920s layout, conceived for Czechoslovakia’s first President, T. G. Masaryk, by the Slovenian architectural visionary Jože Plečnik as part of his grand remodelling plan for Prague Castle. Plečnik built the gardens as two connected but distinct spaces. In the process, he removed a tall defensive wall shielding the Na Valech garden from the city, thereby opening up grand vistas and symbolically connecting the Castle with the city below. Plečnik dotted the gardens with sculptural elements, lookouts and gazebos, some of which were intended as private working retreats for President Masaryk; the latter, however, soon had the gardens opened to the public. Among the gardens’ architectural highlights are the Bull Staircase leading down from the courtyard outside St Vitus Cathedral into the gardens, the charming ‘Small Belvedere’ lookout with a paved floor whose pattern mimics the Bohemian ‘kolache’ pastries, and the ‘Moravian bastion’, a onetime working and gathering retreat especially beloved by Masaryk. The Royal Garden (Královská zahrada) is the most popular and historically the most prized of all the Castle gardens. It is accessible in the summer season via the western gates from U Prašného mostu street or from the north near the Queen Anne‘s Summer House.

The local architectural gems are a popular tourist attraction. There’s the Letohrádek královny Anny (‘Queen Anne‘s Summer House’), a splendid Renaissance building, with the sgraffito-covered Míčovna (‘Ball Game Hall’) building nearby. The icing on the cake is the Singing Fountain, a cast-iron masterpiece from the second half of the 16th century. The Royal Garden is separated from Prague Castle by the Deer moat (Jelení příkop), a deep natural ravine with its own stream, the Brusnice. During the reign of Emperor Rudolf II, it served as a game reserve for deer hunting (hence the name). These days, the gulley makes for a memorable outing along the northern edge of Prague Castle, with something to offer modern architecture lovers, too; the 84-metre tunnel under the Powder bridge, by the acclaimed architect Josef Pleskot. The passageway connecting the lower and the upper part of the moat is elliptical in section and its dark red brick tiles create a cosy mood. A different kind of greenery grows among the gardens of Prague Castle in the St Wenceslas vineyard, whose orderly rows crest the hilltop above the Old Castle Steps. Legend has it that this is the oldest vineyard in Bohemia, established and personally cultivated by the patron of the Czech Lands, Prince Wenceslas. The dominant local landmark is the neoclassical Villa Richter, known for its restaurants. It is worth mentioning that this is the only place where you can sample the limited edition wines from St Wenceslas vineyard. For added value, you get some incomparable views of the Old Town, the Lesser Town and the Queen Anne‘s Summer House. 8 Historical Gardens HistoricalSt Wenceslas Gardens vineyard9 Wallenstein Garden The Palace Gardens beneath Wallenstein Garden Prague Castle (Valdštejnská zahrada) (Palácové zahrady pod q Letenská, Prague 1 – Lesser Town w www.senat.cz Pražským hradem) r Mon–Fri 7:30–18:00, Sat–Sun 10:00–18:00 (April, May, October), Mon–Fri 7:30–19:00 and Sat–Sun 10:00–19:00 (June–September) q Valdštejnská 14, Prague 1 – Lesser Town n access: y A (to Malostranská) w www.palacove-zahrady.cz r daily 10:00–18:00 (April, October) and 10:00–19:00 (May–September) 30 mins n access: y A (to Malostranská) One of the most striking ‘greening schemes’ of Czech early 1 hr Baroque dates from around the building of the Wallenstein Palace (1623–1629).

  • Must See in Prague

    Must See in Prague

    Must see in Prague Prague Castle Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Originally dating to the 9th century, this landmark, which surrounds St. Vitus Cathedral, bears the mark of each architectural and historical era that it has lived through. To this day, it serves as the seat of the Czech state. Prague Old Town and Jewish Quarter Despite being only a fraction of its former self, Prague’s Jewish Quarter comprises the best current complex of Jewish historical monuments in all of Europe. The smallest of Prague’s districts was walled off as a ghetto in 1096, following a pogrom against its inhabitants, who were mainly Jewish immigrants. Old Town Hall and the Astronomical Clock Arguably Prague’s most identifiable icon, the Astronomical Clock built into the façade of the Old Town Hall on Old Town Square continues to draw crowds waiting to see the hourly chiming of this amazing mechanical structure that dates to 1410. Powder Tower The Powder Tower is a one of the original medieval gates to the Old Town built by Matej Rejsek in the Gothic style in 1475. In the 18th century, it served as a gunpowder depot, giving it its current name. In the late 19th century, it was rebuilt by J. Mocker, and it remains one of Prague’s most important medieval monuments. Charles Bridge Prague’s oldest bridge, and one of its most iconic structures, is Charles Bridge, which connects Old Town with Malá Strana. Dating to 1357, it was originally called the Stone Bridge, or Prague Bridge, before being named Charles Bridge in 1870, after its founder King Charles IV.
