Prague has many parks and gardens, both in and outside of the center, so there is always a peaceful place nearby to escape the crowds and noise of the city or to take your children if they need a break. Many parks include children's playgrounds. A lot of the gardens in Prague's historical center have been restored, including the gardens below the Prague Castle.

These are some of the parks and gardens you can include in your walks around the historical center:

Franciscan Garden
Petřín Hill
Střelecký ostrov (Shooters Island)
Vrtba Garden

The following parks are just outside the center and are mainly popular with local residents. Each of the parks has something special to offer:

Havlíčkovy Sady
