Impeccable symmetry, manicured hedge labyrinths, and a burst of colorful flower beds define the beauty of the Vrtba Gardens. One of the three Baroque style gardens, it was created by Frantisek Maxmilan Kanka around the 1720s for Count Josef of Vrtboska. The palace gardens are an outstanding example of Baroque grandeur that radiates through the intricate planning of the garden expanse. Colorful veils festooned on palace roofs and walls add to its magnificence. The garden is a Baroque celebration with splendid sculptures and statues mounted on multi-level avenues, that diverge as patte d'oie. A fitting venue for events and weddings, the Vrtba Garden is a weave of floral wonders and glory of the Baroque era.
Viaje en teleférico desde el nivel de la calle hasta la cima. Una vez arriba, la torre de observación Petrin, construida en 1891 según el modelo de la torre Eiffel, brinda una maravillosa vista. Hay también un observatorio y dos jardines formales. A nivel de la calle hay un jardín de rosas alrededor de un laberinto para niños. Pasando un portón en la antigua muralla (el muro del hambre) hay un jardín exuberante y tranquilo con una pequeña cascada, un estanque y muchas variedades de flores. Probablemente éste sea uno de los lugares más idílicos de la ciudad.
