Highlights
Day 1
Prague Zoo

What sets it apart is the presence of a small mountain within the park’s boundaries, where you can encounter mountain goats in their natural habitat.

Much like other large zoos expect to spend full-day as there’s so much to see and not all the animals are easy to find.
One distinctive feature of Prague Zoo is the spacious enclosures for its animals. This means that some of them may be a bit hard to spot, especially on cooler days. From farm animals and a variety of bird species to intriguing insects and the majestic safari animals and elephants, Prague Zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife waiting to be discovered.
