"Stop to Smell the Roses The Franciscan Garden is delightful public spacejust off the busy Wenceslas Square on the site of a former Franciscan monastery and dates back to the medieval period. Head through the Světozor passage from Vodičkova street or the Alfa passage from Wenceslas Square. Find a seat on one of the benches — a great spot for people watching —and admire the climbing roses in bloom orthe Church of Our Lady of the Snows. If you have children let them enjoy the playground and an ice cream while you sit back and take a breather under the trees."

A beautiful and peaceful place right next to Wenceslas Square. I like coming here even in winter, it’s quiet, not crowded, and it really feels like the city slows down for a moment. It’s also a great shortcut through the city without the crowds.

Love this small, cute park in the middle of one of the busiest areas. It also has one of the best coffee shops. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful gardens in Prague. Amazing views of the church Our Lady of the Snows. Plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors. Beautiful garden with plenty of trees, flower, and shrubs. Few cafes around the garden area. Plenty of walking space. This is a must see when visiting Prague. I loved my visit.

This place is really a good one just next to the city centre but lot of tourists but still you will find a chair to sit there. Nicely taken care of.

Beautiful gardens between Národní třída and Václavské náměstí (Wenceslas square) there are coffee shops, small film museum and plenty of benches, it's a cute little hedge maze garden. It can be busy sometimes. It's still a little oasis in the busy city centre.

Nice little park to take a quick stroll through. There are free restrooms and a cafe attached to the side of the park.

This is a quietish little retreat in the midst of the busy city. I could see its potential in Spring/ Summer, but in the middle of Winter it lacks vegetation and beauty. More of a peaceful shortcut in our walk than anything else.

Nice gardens where to take a brake while visiting the city center. They are located close to some interesting points like Kafka Head and Vaklavske Namesti street. The gardens have some benches where relaxing and curated green spaces and beautiful flowers. Love it !
