When people mention Prague gardens and parks, I always think back to my days at a secondary school in Mal\u00e1 Strana, where we’d sneak out during lunch breaks to wander the surrounding gardens. Prague was never just a city of stone, gothic spires, and cobbled streets for me. It was a tangled web of hidden courtyards<\/strong>, terraced gardens, and sprawling deer parks that formed the natural backdrop of my teenage years and student life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, while studying photojournalism at Charles University<\/strong>, I spent hours waiting for the perfect light in forgotten corners of baroque gardens. With a heavy DSLR around my neck, I documented how shadows shifted across crumbling walls and how wild nature encroached upon meticulously trimmed hedges. That’s when I came to see these green oases from a completely different perspective \u2014 not as places for a quick rest, but as distinctive architectural works<\/strong> with their own rules and rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, my husband Luk\u00e1\u0161<\/strong> and I return to Prague every year, rediscovering the city at a pace dictated by our two-year-old son Jon\u00e1\u0161<\/strong>. I’ve learned that the romantic terraced gardens with dozens of staircases I once loved so much are an absolute nightmare with a pushchair. My view of Prague’s green spaces has changed radically. I’ve started appreciating wide tarmac paths, step-free entrances<\/strong>, and shady spots beneath mature trees where you can spread out a picnic blanket in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prague’s parks are in a constant state of transformation. Some are undergoing sensitive revitalisation, while others retain that slightly neglected, melancholic charm I’ve known since school. I update this guide every year, and the latest version reflects the state of things as of April 2026<\/strong>. Whether you’re looking for the perfect view of the red rooftops, a quiet spot to read a book, or a space where your kids can safely run around, here’s my list of favourite places<\/strong> that desk-bound guidebook writers often overlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
