★★★★★2 months agoHiking spot, picnic spot, calm, quiet place for dogs or children. There is an elevator next to it, but it wasn't working yet when I got here.
Charlotte Laifr
★★★★★8 months agoIncredible nature walk through a place that just keeps on giving! I absolutely love how the entire place is not only vibrant but very intellectual speaking, with not 1 or 2 but 100s of different ways you can explore the gardens, all with beatiful views and things like that. The highest points of the gardens aren't as good as the lower to mid parts in elevation because you are getting closer to normal Prague and it isn't as touristy as lower or mid Petřín gardens.
