⭐ Prague has far more to offer than just the famous sights of its historic centre!

Tucked away in a tranquil game reserve 🦌 lies one of its finest hidden gems: the Renaissance Hvězda Summer Palace (Letohrádek Hvězda). Built on a unique six-pointed star layout, it is steeped in rich ⚗️alchemical & occult symbolism. 🍂 Take a stroll here, and you’ll quickly realise that the crisp weather of an Indian summer isn’t the only thing casting a spell on you.

🕊️ Nestled next to the neo-Gothic Basilica of Sts Peter and Paul, the Vyšehrad Cemetery Hřbitovy a pohřební služby hl. m. Prahy is more like an open-air art gallery than a traditional burial ground.
