🇨🇿 Prague's Most Serene Park: Vojanovy Sady

💦Vojanovy Sady in Prague is considered one of the city's oldest and best-preserved gardens, originally established as a monastery garden in 1248. 🌷 This 2.4-hectare garden opened to the public in May 1954 and was named after renowned Czech actor Eduard Vojan, commemorating his life and death in the nearby Klárov district. 🍃Known for its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty, 🌺Vojanovy Sady is famously home to dozens of peacocks that roam freely as if they own the place - earning it the nickname "Peacock Park." 🌼 Visitors can escape urban noise by resting under shady trees near the small pond, 💐sitting on benches to admire the St. John's Chapel adorned with stalactite decorations, 🌹17th-century frescoes and a sundial. A broad staircase at the garden's end leads to a viewing platform with rose trellises and benches. 🥀The park also features modern sculptures including Jan Kodet's "Seated Woman" (1960) and Jan Kavan's "Spring and Autumn" (1968). 🌻The unassuming entrance belies the garden's hidden wonders. 🌳This compact space bursts with cherry, plum, pear, magnolia and apple blossoms, tulips in spring, and roses by May when late-blooming double cherry trees reach peak beauty. 🌾More than just a beautiful green space, Vojanovy Sady represents an important piece of Prague's historical and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit destination. #PragueTravel #PragueCzechRepublic #PragueParks #VojanovySady
