Advent in the Gardens under Prague Castle

The gardens will be presenting themselves in the festive atmosphere with night-time illuminations.

You can make use of this opportunity and come and have a look at the “Living Christmas Traditions” and the Advent Fair on 16 to 19 December from 9.00 am until 5.00 pm.

The parterre of the Ledeburk Garden will be open to the public as well as the beautiful sala terrena, where the Advent Fair with folk crafts will be taking place. Events will be prepared for children in the gallery of the Ledeburk Palace – an interactive Nativity Scene in which children will learn what things looked like in Bethlehem and will be able to build it themselves. They will also be able to try out traditional colour decoration of gingerbread, make Christmas cards and will also be able to whisper their Christmas wishes to a real Christmas angel.

The Palace Gardens spread out over the southern slope under Prague Castle. The gardens were established on the site of vineyards or Renaissance gardens attached to aristocratic palaces. The steep terrain has been refashioned into several terrace levels. The nature of the gardens ranged from pure utility with vineyards and fruit trees, right through to decorative with rich and varied landscaping. The gardens are linked nowadays and their composition makes up a unique garden complex. All of the Palace Gardens have varied architectural decoration, decorative staircases, balustrades, lookout terraces and small pavilions integrally composed with vegetation into picturesque ensembles.
