Behind the hotel is the Kinsky Garden, providing this country girl with a break from roadways, trams and buildings.
National Museum-Orthographic Sadly, the building was closed as I explored the area.
The lawn in front is a haven for dog owners, complete with a pup pool.
The dogs of Prague are very lucky. Dagmar said the Czech people love their dogs. In fact, as we were chauffered around, she always pointed out any dog we passed. Most are off leash, even on the busy city streets, and are beautifully behaved, heeling beside their loving owners.Many looked to be rescues. Very few of the males looked to be neutered. Sorry, I looked. Oddly, I did not see one cat, not even in a window.
The Kinsky Summerhouse sits amidst what used to be a vineyard.
I hiked the cobblestone path upward.
It was so peaceful, and lovely that I returned one more time before leaving Prague.
If you find yourself in Prague, I hope you make time to explore the Garden. The views incredible.
There are relaxing water features with lovely sculptures.
The hunger wall was built in the 1360s, yes, the 1360s! To defend the Prague Castle, which we visit soon.
There is graffiti everywhere, oddly, none on the trams. The most famous graffiti wall is the John Lennon. Skip it, but do hike up to see the artwork on top of the hill.
And, stay til dusk as the lights come on.
