PALACE GARDENS
Under the name of Palace Gardens (Palácové zahrady pod Pražským hradem) are grouped the different palace gardens of Malá Strana, whose terraces gradually rise towards the castle. We visit them together, passing from one to the other, each one offering a different atmosphere. We appreciate their colours, their different styles and all these isolated benches offering a panoramic view where it is nice to daydream and contemplate the city. It is advisable to visit them while descending from the garden of the castle ramparts. At every step, you can enjoy the view of the city and the river. Unforgettable.
Ledeburská zahrada (Ledebour gardens). This garden, created in the 18th century in Baroque style, is named after Adolf de Ledebour, who owned the neighbouring palace in 1852. It is distinguished by its statues and fountains.
Malá Pálffyovská zahrada (small Palffy gardens). It is the simplest of gardens: few decorative elements, but a lot of greenery. A pleasant contrast.
Velká Pálffyovská zahrada (large Palffy gardens). They were created in 1681, but their present appearance dates back to the middle of the 18th century.
Kolowratská zahrada (Kolowrat gardens). It was created at the end of the 19th century on the site of a destroyed house. Fruit trees and hedges are in the majority.
Malá Fürstenberská zahrada (small Fürstenberg gardens). This garden has been built on the site of former vineyards. The government of the First Republic (1918-1938) sat in the palace and the Senate occupies it today.
