Královská obora - Stromovka



This is a short walk from the Holesovice Metro station or else take the number 5 tram from Revolucni (or the no.17 from the National Theatre) and get off at the T-Mobile Arena (exhibition area). The park is behind the Prumyslovy Palac over to the left of the main exhibition entry.

The park dates from 1268 when it was a hunting reserve but, several remakes have turned this 250 acre park into a very pleasant habitat for people and animals alike. A very pleasant walk if you have time is to go through Stromovka and cross the river into Troja (follow signs first for Troja and then the zoo). You can get the bus or boat (April-October) back to town. The last boat back is at 17:00 (5PM).

There are pay toilets, two food areas and you can hire in-line skates for 40kc per hour plus 3000kc deposit. Look out for the "plane tree" and see how high the water was back in the flood of 2002.
