Prague's Abode of Animals

Sunday is reserved for the Prague Zoo. So with a yawn, we start out on a late morning. Taking the tram 14, we get down at Trojska and get the bus to the last stop, Zoological Zahrada (the zoo). The Prague Zoo is big enough to devote more than three hours. The ticket cost per person is 100 CZK.

Take your time to stroll around and see the aviary wing, the primates section, and the mammalia. The pride of this zoo lies with its famous gorillas, tigers, lions and giraffes.

Nearby sites to be recommended are the Botanical Garden, and the Wine Cellars/ Museum surrounded by Apple orchards. Makes a beautiful trip on a sunny Sunday morning.

TRANSPORTATION: Trams 14 or 17 can be taken upto Trojska. Getting down there, you can cross the road and reach the bus stop. There is only bus from that stop (112). Take the bus to the last stop.
