PRAGUE THE CITY OF GARDENS.
There are few cities in the world with so many beautiful gardens and parks as has the City of Prague. One of the most attractive is the Royal Garden close to the Royal Palace. Not far away is a spacious fine park called Královská Obora (Royal Forestpark) with a hunting castle and music pavillons. (Tramcar No. 3 from the Powder Tower.)
The Petřin (with a miniature Eifel Tower) and the Kinský Garden give a charming view of the City.
There are also pretty island parks on the Žofín (Sophia’s Island) and on the Střelecký ostrov (Shooting Island) where daily good concerts are given.
Opposite the Francis Joseph Station is a fine city park: “Městský sad“ and opposite the Town Hall of the New Town an other charming park: the “Charles park“.
The “Rudolph“ quay, the “František“ quay, the “Rieger“ quay, the “Palacký“ quay are used as promenades along the entire length of the river above the embankment.
Most of the palaces on the left side of the river (Malá Strana) have most charming gardens f. i.: Waldstein palace, Prince Lobkovicz palace, Fürstenberg palace, Counts Schoenborn palace etc.
There are concerts in most of the public parks in the afternoons and evenings during the summer.
