Parks in Prague

Petřín Hill is a 327-metre green oasis in the heart of Prague, covered in orchards, gardens, and wooded paths. A funicular climbs from Malá Strana to the summit, where the lookout tower, rose garden, and mirror maze await.

Letná Park is a sprawling hillside green space north of the river, popular with locals for jogging, skating, and its iconic beer garden with Prague's best skyline view. A giant metronome stands where a Stalin statue once towered.

The Royal Garden is an elegant Renaissance garden north of Prague Castle, planted in 1534 by Ferdinand I. Its manicured lawns, topiaries, and the Ball Game Hall provide a serene contrast to the castle's crowds.

Stromovka is Prague's oldest and largest public park — a 95-hectare former royal game reserve dating to the 13th century. Its tree-lined avenues, meadows and ponds are popular with joggers, cyclists and families year-round.

Kampa Island is a peaceful island in the Vltava formed by the Čertovka (Devil's Stream) canal, right beside Charles Bridge. Its riverside park, modern sculpture installations, and the Kampa Museum of contemporary art make it Prague's most romantic retreat.
