In this episode of Prague off the Beaten Track, we visit the Malešice Botanical Garden, a quiet oasis few people in Prague have heard of. Run by a horticultural school, it offers an arboretum, rock garden, and peaceful paths away from the usual tourist crowds. Nestled under Tábor Hill, it reveals a surprising blend of history, nature, and tranquillity in one of the city’s overlooked districts.
When Prague locals hear “Malešice,” they often think of the massive waste incineration plant, whose chimney towers over the district and processes hundreds of thousands of tons of rubbish every year.
