Take a break for massive tourist crowds and the hustle and bustle of Prague! This green island…read moreoasis in the middle of Vltava River offers a green, tree filled, serene, and natural break from urban jungles of Prague. Friday through Sundays are free concerts by local musicians. A smaller farmers market of wineries, breweries, and food purveyors setup to sell food and drink...a lovely way to spend the evening away from the mass crowds. The crowd seemed to be mostly locals! You might see some local swans...but most importantly in the afternoons you'll see the invasive but ridiculously cute species of Nutria roaming around the waters. They look like small capybaras or beavers...so adorable! Technically they are disease carrying rodents and the city government discourages feeding them, but some locals fed them apples and leaves. Try to resist!

Such a lovely little park. The city did a revitalization project last year and it has made a huge…read moreimprovement. The grass and walkways are very clean. There are dozens of benches spaced throughout to sit and enjoy the view. A great ropes course style playground for older kids. They even have a small sand beach at the end of the island, but it would be a bit gross to take a dip in the river. They installed an elevator to get prams and wheelchairs onto the island. There is a full sit down restaurant and a small barge serving beer and snacks.

Was here for a stag party with friends and we had a great time playing golf and drinking a few beers. They also have some other games as well. Some are extra. The art work is very cool.

This green space located in the Lesser Town, provides great views of the Old Town, just across the…read moreriver. We loved the public art here, including the Golden Penguins and the "Babies". Standing in one single file line, 34 penguins flank a metal beam along the river of Vltava in Kampa Park. Despite their adorable stature, yellow hue, and tiny broad bellies, the penguins' appearance comes with a warning against the dangers of climate change and plastic consumption. Created by the Cracking Art Group, a Milan-based art movement, the yellow penguins are all made from recycled bottles. By repurposing plastic, the group hoped to inspire new dialogues surrounding plastic waste and its impact on the environment. They are especially visible at night when they are all lit up in a Golden Hue. Also, located just outside the nearby Museum Kampa (which houses modern European art), you can find David Černý's arresting Babies sculptures. The eerie installation features three giant crawling babies san faces. A walk through Kampa Park also offers views of Charles Bridge. A great spot to relax while in Prague.

So, so romantic in Kampa.... This is the region most flooded out in Praha 1, and it's happened so…read moreoften. Wistful and quiet, very lovely, historic buildings whose dried water level lines are always visible. So very easy to walk to off the bridge over the Vltava and explore. Loads of antique, touristy boutiques, and lots of high end restaurants as well as small hotel outfits. Very pretty, memorable large trees. Brad Pitt once stayed here....trivial things I recall.

Wallenstein Garden, near Prague Castle, is a lovely garden on the grounds of the Wallenstein Palace…read more(which is not open to the public and houses the Czech Senate). The garden is well maintained, and it is very pleasant to stroll through on a nice day. There are several things to see, such as statues in the garden depicting Roman gods and heroes, a neat stalactite wall (the grotto), a fountain, a pond with water fowl and koi, and peacocks, including white peacocks. If you're in the area, Wallenstein Garden is definitely worth a look. Admission is free, although it is 10 CZK to use the washroom, so be sure to carry some change with you.
