Divoká Šárka
A wild rocky valley nature reserve on the city's northwest edge, with cliffs, a stream, swimming pools and easy trails.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
Locals' green escape inside the city limits — dramatic little crags, a natural-feeling valley walk and a summer outdoor pool, reachable by tram.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's well off the tourist map (which is the point), facilities are basic and seasonal, and it's 'nice city nature' rather than a wow destination.
