The Gardens below Prague Castle are widely regarded as a hidden gem, praised for their tranquility and breathtaking panoramic views of the city's red rooftops. Reviewers frequently mention the romantic atmosphere created by the Baroque staircases, fountains, and lush greenery, especially during the summer blooming season. While the beauty is undeniable, many visitors note that the gardens require a fair amount of climbing, describing it as a 'light workout' due to the numerous terraced levels. A common point of advice is to bring your own drinks, as there are no refreshments available for purchase within the grounds. Some guests were disappointed to find the connection to Prague Castle closed during their visit, but still felt the entry fee was well worth the experience. Overall, it is highly recommended for those looking to escape the main tourist crowds while capturing stunning photos of Malá Strana.
