The South Gardens sit on the southern slopes of Prague Castle, above Malá Strana. Their paths give you a quieter walk and broad views across the district’s red rooftops and Prague’s skyline. Come to pause between castle sights, take photos from a different angle or enjoy the garden at an unhurried pace. The gardens are also a place to visit during events such as Signal Festival, when the setting adds another reason to explore this side of the castle.
A garden walk above Malá Strana
The South Gardens occupy the southern slopes of Prague Castle. From their paths, you can look over Malá Strana’s rooftops and across the city. The walk offers a pause from the castle’s busier sights, with room to take in the view at your own pace.
The gardens also provide a different vantage point for photographs of Prague. Their path is a reason to slow down and explore this side of the castle rather than treating it only as a route between landmarks.
Getting to the gardens
