Havlíčkovy sady is Prague’s second largest park and a great place for a walk, especially during springtime, which is unfortunately the only time of the year when the park is in bloom. The park has been going through a major restoration. A new children’s playground was installed in its upper part and it is now very popular. The Grébovka Villa was restored last year. Work is now being done on the vineyard below the villa.
You can read more about the park on our Havlíčkovy sady page.
