The Vrtba Garden

#TravelGuide Secret Observation Deck for the "Photo of a Lifetime" (Garden Top) The secret observation deck (Vyhlídka) on the top floor of Vrtbovská Garden, often called Prague's "hidden view spot," is the main reason why. Starting from the lower level of the garden, you'll ascend the stairs to three main terraces, reaching the highest, where you'll finally be greeted by the city's iconic panorama. This is the perfect spot to capture the majestic Prague Castle, the spires of St. Vitus Cathedral, and the countless red roofs. A top photography tip is to visit late in the afternoon or around sunset. At this time, the sunlight casts a golden glow on the red roofs, creating an even more romantic and dramatic atmosphere. Furthermore, the hidden benches and spaces behind the railings of each terrace, often overlooked by many tourists, offer secluded and peaceful photos. The area near the small gazebo at the end of the observation deck is a particularly prime spot for a perfect photo with Prague in the background, so stop here for a moment and snap your camera.
