Overview
Zahrada Kinských is a significant 22-hectare green space situated on the southern and south-eastern slopes of Petřín hill. Originally home to medieval vineyards and later forested, the area was redesigned in the 1830s to reflect an English-style garden layout. Guests can explore the historic grounds, which are distinctly separated from the rest of the Petřín park network by the medieval Hunger Wall commissioned by Charles IV. Key features include the Kinský Summer Palace, which holds an ethnographic exhibition for the National Museum, and the relocated wooden Greek Catholic Church of St. Michael. It serves as an ideal destination for those looking for a mix of historical intrigue and a natural escape within the city.
