Vrtba Garden
A tiered baroque terraced garden in Malá Strana, a UNESCO-listed pocket of statues, balustrades and a city-and-castle view.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A hidden, impeccably formal little garden climbing the hillside, almost empty even in season, with a top terrace framing the castle beautifully.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's small, seasonal (closed in winter), ticketed for what is essentially a 30-minute stroll, and easy to miss behind its gate.
