Very nice visit to this wonderfully maintained park. No false notes, few flowers because harmony is found above all in the arrangement and enhancement of the architectural elements. The sobriety is beautiful, classic. You can enjoy the perspectives and landscapes in complete tranquility.

Superb afternoon strolling the paths of this French garden. Guided tour using the app accessible via the QR code on the entry ticket.

Very disappointing, poorly maintained, it's not worth the 7 euros, it's better to go for a walk in the forest, it's free and prettier, I strongly advise against it!!! This is theft.

Very very very beautiful park which is definitely worth the detour!! Good welcome, leaflet and QR code to have explanations of the entire park on your phone. These are rich and pleasant, it’s very well done! Very few people, which is pleasant. A place suitable for strolling and resting because it is silent and very beautiful. Allow at least 2 hours to visit and stroll through the park peacefully. You can come with the stroller without worries because the paths are very well maintained. These are French gardens so if you want to see flowers, this is not the place.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
