Enjoy one a magnificent baroque landscaping in The Vrtba Garden, a large garden built on the slope of Petrin Hill in Prague. Made up of Italian-style terraces connected by stairs and supported by curved walls, the garden features many exquisite sculptures of Ceres and Bacchus and elaborate rail guards crafted by some of the best artists of the 18th century Habsburg Prague. A circular pool with a statue of sea monster is surrounded by fine labyrinth topiary and live fences. Interior decorations have been well-preserved with fresco paintings and there is an aviary featuring some rare birds maintained by Prague Zoo. Enjoy views of the city from a tranquil spot.

The perfect place for taking very nice pictures of Prague. The garden itself is beautiful and because it lies on an elevated slope, you get an overview of the tiled rooftops of all the buildings around it. No wonder why this is a frequent choice for wedding ceremonies.

One of the best gardens I have visited. It also has a breathtaking view! But unfortunately it only takes 20 minutes to go through it all.
