Blog written by two Prague residents about life in the Czech Republic.
Prague’s Petřín Park is considered by many to be one of the most romantic places in the city. It is especially true on May 1st when Czechs commemorate their own equivalent of Valentine’s Day. We write briefly about May First, the Time of Love on My Czech Republic.
Below are two pictures taken today at Petřín.
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.

I visited the Easter Market on Old Town Square today. We had some rain on and off, but the market was still busy.

I walked around Vyšehrad on Sunday and it was especially beautiful under snow. There were a lot of people there having a relaxing Sunday stroll. Kids were enjoying the fresh snow. Some even brought their saucers and were sliding down some hills in the park.
