Prague Zoo
Zoologická zahrada Praha
A large zoo on a hillside by the Vltava that is consistently ranked among the world's best. The Indonesian jungle house and gorilla house are the most popular.
Prague Zoo covers about 58 hectares, built into the hillside by the river, and houses around 700 species. TripAdvisor once ranked it the fourth-best zoo in the world. Highlights include the Indonesian Jungle Pavilion, the Gorilla House, the Przewalski's horse conservation programme and the Hippo House. A cable car inside the zoo takes visitors uphill. Adult admission is about 400 CZK. Take metro Line C to Nádraží Holešovice, then bus 112 for about 25 minutes. In summer you can also take a Vltava river cruise, and Troja Palace is right next to it.
