Check opening times and route conditions
Průhonice Park’s hours and ticket details can change, so check the official site before you go. Its seasonal schedules range from 07:00 to 20:00, and the ticketing terms say entrances operate during park opening hours, with turnstiles closing 30 minutes after closing time.
Single-use electronic park tickets can be used at the main entrance by the castle, the Hájovna entrance for the second part of the park, or the Botanical Garden turnstile at the end of Dobřejovická Street.
The ticket information asks people in the park without a ticket to purchase one. As opening arrangements and routes can affect the order of your day, confirm the details for your visit before leaving Vestec.
