★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful little retreat in the middle of town. You almost wont notice it until you heard of it. Even in May beautiful blowers were blooming and it felt like entering your own little world outside of the big city.
Kateřina Doležalová
★★★★★6 months agoA beautiful and peaceful place right next to Wenceslas Square. I like coming here even in winter, it’s quiet, not crowded, and it really feels like the city slows down for a moment. It’s also a great shortcut through the city without the crowds.
