Come discover the quieter, greener side of Prague! This walk leads you through charming and often hidden parks of the New Town—some tucked between buildings, others serving as peaceful shortcuts through the city. Along the way, you’ll learn how these green spaces have evolved over time and what they reveal about Prague’s layered history.
While enjoying these lesser-known spots, we’ll also explore:
• The history and changing functions of Prague’s urban gardens
• Maternity Hospital U Apolináře – a stunning Neo-Gothic landmark by Josef Hlávka, still in use today
• A rare surviving section of the 14th-century fortification wall
• A Cold War-era monitoring tower from the Iron Curtain period
• The discreet entrance to a former anti-nuclear shelter
• Places connected (even if briefly) to the writer Jaroslav Hašek
• Lesser-known green spaces that offer locals a moment of calm amid the urban bustle
This tour is ideal for those who want to step off the tourist track and explore Prague’s hidden beauty, curiosity-filled corners, and quiet traces of history.
