Practical information

Botanical Garden Prague

The Troja Botanical Garden is ideally located on the right bank of the Vltava River. It is a place of rest and relaxation, enjoyment and pleasure of all senses in the midst of 15,000 species of trees and flowers. For many centuries, vines have ripened here and the protected vineyard of St. Clare is one of the oldest in Prague. Wines can be enjoyed on the terrace of the wine cellar with a unique view of the Prague skyline.

Divoká Šárka Park

Divoká Šárka Nature Reserve is one of Prague’s most beautiful natural sceneries and also an important archaeological site. It extends along the Šárecký brook on rocky cliffs, plateaus and deep valleys between the Džbán gorge and the Devil’s Mill.

Havlíčkovy sady or Grébovka Park

Inspired by the Italian Renaissance, Grébovka Park invites you to paint. In addition to the unique views of Prague, it offers a magnificent view of the entire park from the upper terrace above the artificial cave. In the park we can draw both a beautiful fountain with a water cascade, a lake, pavilions, Gröbe Villa, statues, and a charming artificial cave. The atmosphere of a real vineyard in the middle of Prague can be enjoyed in the Cellar Grébovka, where you can enjoy the drawing lessons with a glass of good wine.

Riegrovy sady

Take a breathtaking view from Riegrovy sady. The horizon is dominated by an unforgettable view of Prague Castle, with the entire Malá Strana stafage and the Vltava flowing below it. Especially the sunset is impressive in Rieger’s gardens. There are several other interesting vistas through the trees to the Old Town, Lesser Town and Petřín.

Prague ZOO

Prague Zoo is located in the beautiful hilly terrain of the Troja Basin. There are 10 pavilions, 150 exhibitions and currently boasts 670 species and nearly 5,000 individuals. What animal do you draw? Do you enjoy sea lions, monkeys or elephants? Or do you want to try the whole African panorama? Nothing is impossible. A walk with a sketchbook in your hand will surely please you as much as we do.
