Traveler reviews
Andre Hackart
★★★★★2 months agoWe stayed on the Old Town side of the river and took a walk across Charles Bridge to visit the Gardens What a lovely peaceful place. Quite a bit to see, some buildings , the pond , the peacocks etc as well as plenty of space to sit and relax or to let the kids run around. It's free to enter and really worth a visit and definately one of the most well maintained gardens we visited in Prague
