Botanical Garden in Prague

The Botanical Garden of the Capital City of Prague in Troja is one of the most beautiful natural spots in the city, where the beauty of plants, scientific research, and a space for relaxation come together.

The garden spans approximately 25 hectares in the Troja Basin and offers a wide range of exhibits, including the unique Fata Morgana greenhouse, the St. Clare’s Vineyard, and the picturesque Japanese Garden.

The most famous part of the garden is the tropical Fata Morgana greenhouse, open year-round from Tuesday to Sunday, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore exotic flora from around the world. This modern greenhouse is divided into three climate zones, simulating conditions of tropical rainforests, mountainous regions, and dry tropical areas.

The first exhibition was opened to the public in 1992, covering an area of 3 hectares. Designed as a park, it features a diverse selection of plants, including perennials, annuals, medicinal herbs, and rare trees. In 2023, the outdoor exhibits were connected to the Fata Morgana greenhouse by a walkway, allowing visitors to move more smoothly throughout the entire area.
