Stromovka – nice walk any time

The royal park aka Stromovka (strom means tree) is a a large English style park with long history. It was probably founded around 1268 by the king Přemysl Otakar II. When it was opened to public few centuries later, it became a popular spot for Prague citizens.

Nowadays Stromovka is one of the most popular parks in Prague. In this case, size really matters – although many people goes there, you do not have the feeling that the park is overcrowded. Depending of the season, people are walking dogs and kids, cycling, rollerblading, playing frisbee, having a picnics or chilling out having a nap in the grass (that is my favourite activity there in summer time that I conceal as reading). You can also meet horse riders (there is a riding-hall nearby) and now in winter, lot of people are practising cross country skiing.

For me, the stay in a park is not complete without some refreshments. Unfortunately the famous restaurant Šlechtovka is still far from being be re-opened again (there is a reconstruction). A new restaurant was last year, called Vozovna where you can get something to eat or drink.
