Troja ZOO
The experience of Prague Zoo, all but forgotten by most city guides, and shunned by almost all
tourists, is nonetheless one that will stay with you for a long time.
The zoo is 2-3 km's from the city centre, up in a river gorge, where the escarpment climbs steeply away from the river. She occupies a lush river valley, with the rocky cliff faces and rolling meadows at the summit, providing for a stunning vista.
The walk around the zoo is complex, and the map is less helpful than it might be, but there is
a lot to see here. It's a traditional collection, of course, so expect to see penguins, sea
lions, lions, tigers, and elephants, and you won't be disappointed. But you might not expect
Markhor, and Ibex - superbly held in mountain enclosures that could scarcely be better designed
for them. The grazers at the top of the hill are magnificent. And the views are spectacular.
