Slip off busy Wenceslas Square into a peaceful medieval garden full of flowers and benches. A free, quiet retreat that suits older travellers and couples.
Full description

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.
