One of the most amazing ZOOs is located in the City of Prague. Even though the zoo was first established in 1931, the biggest boom came during the 80´s and 90´s. The goal for the Zoo was to "advance the study of zoology, protect wildlife, and educate the public". It is located in the Troja district in the north of Prague. Nowadays the area of the zoo is 45 hectares (approx. 111 acres) and you can see about 4,600 animals that represent 630 species from all around the world.

A castle stood on the site of the first settlement in this area and was for a long time a royal seat. It was built during the 10th century, and today the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, and one of the most famous cemeteries in the Czech Republic, are located beside the castle site.

Come to Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) and enjoy a trip back in time. This square, Prague’s oldest, known for its ancient buildings, fascinating churches and street artists, is one of the most beautiful public spaces in the world. Once a political and economic centre, Old Town Square embodies various stages of Czech history, and you will see them at every turn.

This spectacular ancient Gothic stone bridge, which is a link between the Old Town and the Lesser Quarter, once stood on a key trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. It was therefore a very important connection between the Old Town and Prague Castle, and remains so to this day.
