Overview
The Royal Garden at Prague Castle offers a rare sense of quiet in the heart of the city, tracing its history back to the Renaissance period of 1534. Initially established on the site of medieval vineyards by Ferdinand I, it evolved into a space for royal entertainment and botanical experimentation. Today, visitors can walk through a blend of styles, including Renaissance giardinetto terraces, Baroque flower beds, and a mid-19th-century English-style park. Notable buildings such as the Ball Game Hall and the Royal Summer Palace define the character of the space, providing a glimpse into the lifestyle of the past. Whether you enter from the western gates near U Prašného mostu or the northern gate by the Summer Palace, the garden serves as a refreshing transition point for anyone exploring the wider Prague Castle complex.
