Autumn in Prague like nowhere else

It got the name Prague Venice because of its park and canal. You can spend the entire day in the biggest park in Prague, the Royal Game Preserve called Stromovka. But it’s also worth it to go further out from the center, like to Prokop Valley, which reaches a depth of 70 meters. A nature trail interweaves the preserve and takes you to steep cliffs, abandoned quarries and dark caves, where there are still remnants of prehistoric humans and animals. You will find a romantic setting just outside of Prague like in a fairytale. Průhonice Park has been shot many times in films of this genre. The beautiful castle surrounded by greenery is certainly photogenic, but it’s even better to see it “live”. Even though it’s not immediately in Prague, it’s still ranked among its UNESCO sites.
