Traveler reviews
Ke Gao
★★★★★a month agoDiscovered this hidden gem while walking around the Lesser Town after touring Prague Castle. The entrance was a very ordinary building through a small passage from the street. This is the most beautiful garden we saw in Prague. It is situated on a hill side elegantly designed, extremely well maintained. The top of garden presents stunning views as blended the garden and city view, truly breathtaking. As there were only a few visitors, the place was incredibly peaceful and beautiful.

★★★★★2 months agoA true hidden gem in the heart of the Lesser Town. The Vrtba Garden is one of the most serene and well-maintained spots in Prague. The tiered Baroque architecture provides a stunning backdrop, and the view from the upper terrace is unmatched. It feels like a peaceful oasis, far removed from the typical tourist crowds. The attention to detail in the landscaping is exceptional.
