The Prague Botanic Garden was founded in 1969 but it was meant only for scientific purposes. However, today it is open to the public. The open-air exhibition is taking up about 4.5 hectares. The central bed of perennial and annual plants collection belongs among the most attractive parts of the garden - it blossoms in variety of colours and shades during the summer months. A valuable collection of bulbous and tuberous plants is also worth seeing. Blooms of crowtoes, crocuses, hyacinths, bluebells and grape hyacinths adorn the garden from early March. Small alpine house, Japanese garden, Mediterranean and Turkish plants as well as moor plants are worth a visit. A tropical greenhouse FATA MORGANA has been newly opened. There is also St. Claire's vineyard with St. Claire's Chapel, a nature park with a marked nature trail, archaeological park and children's playground.

Open daily November - February 9.00-16.00, March + October 9.00-17.00, April 9.00-18.00 and May-September 9.00-19.00
