After visiting Prague Castle, we decided to have lunch in the gardens of the Wallenstein Palace. They were absolutely gorgeous. It wasn’t too crowded, the sun was shining and there were trees and flowers blooming everywhere.
The Wallenstein gardens really were a highlight for me. When the city highlights like prague castle can be quite bustling with tourists, these gardens were calm and serene. Beautiful fountains, impressing statues and a really awesome dripstone wall.
After staring at the dripstone wall for quite some time, making out faces and animals, we wandered through Nerudova, a historical street that was named after writer Jan Neruda (whom I’ve never heard of, by the way). The houses in Nerudova didn’t have numbers until 1770. Instead, they used cute little signs above the doors. It’s fun to walk through the street and look at the different signs.
