Gardens of Prague

Wenceslas Square

Prague’s intrigue doesn’t wear off with the seasons. The city is a travelers dream, for you can visit the historical place any time of the year. European summers aren’t too bad. Although the heat may become too much to handle, it’s almost always perfect weather to take a meditative stroll through one of the many lush and decorated parks or gardens. While doing so you will definitely see first hand the clash between the Communist influence of eastern Europe to the modernization and capitalism of western Europe. Statues of communist leaders as well as old Kings or aristocrats can be found in any one of the parks.
My favorite gardens are the ones surrounding the awesome Prague Castel. A nice long walk, the gardens beauty surrounds you as you walk into lush greenery, beautiful plants, and a rose garden that will surely please your olfactory senses. The major parks and gardens you’ll want to visit are Franciscan Garden, in the heart of the New Town, Havlíčkovy Sady, Prague’s second biggest park and where you can visit the gorgeous Villa Gröbe, Letná Hill, a park with paths built for anything on wheels: skateboards, rollerblades, and bicycles, Vrtba Garden, a Baroque garden in Lesser Town decorated with flower beds and statues of ancient Roman gods.

Prague

Prague, nicknamed ‘little mother Prague’, is an architecture’s dream. And even if you’re not into buildings, you’ll end up loving the place. Throughout the years of conflict, bombardment, devastation, and mass murders in Europe Prague was untouched. It was the only major city in the Eastern Europe that was not bombed during the world wars, leaving it to sparkle under the midnight sky. My favorite part about Prague is the preservation of all the styles historical architecture. Gothic rests side by side with ultra modern. The fading greens of the once sparkling Baroque copper roofs are littered throughout the city giving a breathtaking vibe and unique vibe to Prague. It’s sightseeing heaven. Walking around during any part of the day is half the fun. You can explore town squares, visit extraordinary cathedrals and churches, and find gargoyle statues perched on the sides of buildings. The variety of styles and diversity of its many neighborhoods create an environment that is paralleled nowhere else. No longer under communist rules and restrictions, the city is exploring its boundless potential for fun. Shopping is incredible if you are European, and for Americans it’s about par with prices in the States. Prague is easily one of the best shopping cities in Europe. Beer is cheap, good, and comes in large quantities, and there are endless theatre shows, pubs, and even shopping centers for your pleasure.
