Prague

84

The city has two botanic gardens. I only had time to visit the historic one, run by the Faculty of Science at Charles University, during my brief stay in the city in 2013. It was a lovely little green jewel, wedged in between the concentrated downtown city tangle on the east bank of the river. I particularly appreciated their geological garden, a large section among the trees and flowerbeds dedicated to displaying boulders of rocks of different kinds, including information of their formation and where in the Czech Republic you could find them. The recently graduated physical geography student (that is, I) was utterly pleased.
