3rd May - Our tour with Nikola today started in the Wallenstein gardens and then a journey on the iconic tram - Tram 22
It follows one of Pragues most scenic routes, passing by the National Theater to Staroměstsk and Malostransk metro stations, and continuing up to the Belveder, Prague Castle and Pohořelec, with some stunning views along the way.
Like the Palace, they were built in the Italian Baroque style, and the the Garden beautifully, especially the entrance hall.
The Palace is now home to the Czech Senate. The Gardens are also sometimes called the Waldstein Garden.
It was originally built during the reign of Ferdinand I, with parts of the Garden and Royal Summer Palace dating from this initial Renaissance period.
The Summer Palace, which often hosts art exhibitions, is one of the finest examples of Prague architecture from the Renaissance period, and makes a wonderful backdrop to the flower beds.
