Castle Grounds and Gardens

The Prague Castle ramparts are a series of fortifications that now form the foundation for the Gardens on the south side where we had views of the city. A tropical garden within the castle, in the 16th century, Emperor Rudolf II introduced tropical and citrus plants to Prague Castle.

Our guide showed us drawings of the evolution of the Castle over the Centuries (see photos). And of course...on sacred Castle grounds there is a Starbucks. Note; the line for getting in and buying a drink was as long as some of those to get into the Castle!Läs mer
