📖

Full description

The Franciscan Gardens are a lush public garden established in the fourteenth century, with benches, flower beds and a small playground in the middle of Prague's New Town. A reviewer calls it a beautiful little retreat in the middle of town that you almost do not notice until you hear the birds.

It is open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and is free to enter. A visit takes about half an hour.

Reviews

Beautiful little retreat in the middle of town. You almost wont notice it until you heard of it. Even in May beautiful blowers were blooming and it felt like entering your own little world outside of the big city.
