So I was on my way to a knihkupectvi on Jungmannova. Spotted this quiet, serene getaway very close to the Můstek station. Great park and well landscaped! Benches rule for tourists, I tell ya.

It has been a while that we were trying to find this garden…read more From Prague's castle, you can see it downwards - with its pretty trees, "à la française" hedges and bushes... but it's another story when trying to find it ! The entry is secretly hidden down the hill and between two buildings. But once you passed the doors... The garden is huge and well organized, with little benches here and there and pretty statues all over the park. A peony (!) is also lurking around, striking the pose when you want to take a picture. But don't try to pet him/her. On the left side of the garden, you can find a fake cave. Let's try to find the creatures, birds and rabbits curved into the stone. I pretty suck at the game but if you are lucky, one of the kid playing there shall help out !

With none of the reviews in English, I fear the more refined tourist will miss this exceptional…read moreextension of the National Museum. Dedicated to the many regions and people of the Czech Republic, the exhibits are masterfully done. You'll get a wider experience of the country from a visit here. There is currently an exhibit with exhibits from Romani artists that is masterfully curated to take you through the process of getting to know the artists before displaying their work. I found it to be an excellent way to invest in the pieces before viewing them. The permanent displays include striking examples of woodcarving, textile art, and most especially a stunning carved Nativity. Go for that alone. Amazing. There is also a lovely coffee shop at the end. Well worth a visit. The lovely folks who work here don't speak English, but don't let that deter you. They will kindly point you toward all of the exhibits and point out the English signs. Some of the sweetest folks I've met in Prague.

There is a charming star shaped chateau right in the middle of the park which has a small cafe in the summer. An excellent place to go for a run, have a picnic or let the kids work off energy. This is also a dogs dream come true with lots of bushes and trees to run through and plenty of other dogs to hang out with. In the near future there will be a metro stop across the road, so it will be much more accessible.
