Palace Gardens in Prague

The gardens on the southern slope under Prague Castle were created gradually from the Middle Ages until the 19^th century. The five most beautiful gardens were renovated at great cost in recent years and connected into one harmonious whole. A unique space was thus created, spreading out over sloping terrain, where you can relax undisturbed or look out over the city below you. If you are romantic at heart and long for the perfect wedding, you can say your “I do” right here.

The perfect harmony of nature and architecture

The most famous of the five palace gardens is the Ledeburk Garden. Here, you can have a pleasant seat in the shade of the Sala Terrena or enjoy a unique cultural experience in the form of many concerts which are held here. Make sure to visit the Small Pálffy and Kolowrat Garden, especially in the spring, which blossom beautifully every year thanks to the many fruit trees. Their bigger sister – the Large Pálffy Garden is on the other hand unique in its Baroque garden art with beautiful circular fountain. Those with a romantic streak will be delighted by the sight of the Fürstenberk Garden, which was created on the site of a former vineyard. Climb the small tower at the top of the cascading terraces and reward yourself with a view you won’t forget for a long time.
