Prague Zoo : info and guided tour

Introduction to Prague Zoo

Prague Zoo, located in Troja in the north of the Czech capital, is one of the city’s most visited attractions. Set at U Trojského zámku 120/3, it extends across a large sloping site that makes it possible to arrange the enclosures by natural zones and offer a variety of routes, with tree-lined paths, viewpoints and themed areas.

Opened to the public in the early 20th century, the zoo has grown into a major institution for conservation and wildlife awareness. Its history is closely linked to the idea of presenting animals in a setting that is closer to their natural environment, with special attention paid to species protection and public education.

The site is well known for its modern facilities and its enclosures carefully integrated into the landscape. Among the most emblematic areas are the sections dedicated to large mammals, big cats, primates and endangered species, as well as facilities designed to make observation easier while respecting animal welfare.

Beyond its animal collection, Prague Zoo also stands out for its setting on the banks of the Vltava and its location in the Troja district, near the castle of the same name. This makes it a popular visit both for the diversity of species on display and for its green atmosphere and the scale of the site.
