Vojanovy sady

Vojanovy sady, also called Vojan Gardens, is a quiet garden in Malá Strana, a short walk from Charles Bridge. Its peacocks wander freely among lawns, paths and mature trees, and magnolias flower in spring. Find a bench by the pond, stroll past the flower beds or pause in the shade after exploring nearby sights. The garden’s calm setting and resident birds make it a good place to slow down; give the peacocks space and let them move around undisturbed.

A garden behind the Malá Strana streets

Vojanovy sady is tucked behind a long wall in Malá Strana, close to Charles Bridge and the river. Its entrance is easy to pass if you are walking quickly, so look out for the opening along U Lužického semináře. The garden is near Wallenstein Garden, making it easy to include both in a walk through the neighbourhood.

The grounds have served as a monastery garden and include mature trees, lawns, flower beds and a pond. Their calm feel offers a change of pace from the surrounding streets. In warmer weather, the trees provide shade; benches and grassy areas give you places to sit and take a break.

Peacocks, chapels and the pond

Peacocks roam freely around the garden, sometimes appearing along the paths or on the lawns. Take time to observe them from a respectful distance rather than trying to get close for a photograph. Magnolias add seasonal colour in spring, while the pond and planted areas offer quieter corners for a short walk or a pause.

The grounds also contain two chapels and a small cave-like feature described as a stalactite cave. These details add interest beyond the garden’s trees and birds. After rain, the paths can become muddy, and there is little shelter beyond the trees, so dry weather makes walking around more comfortable.
