| There is so much to see in the historic areas of Prague that visitors often don't consider the zoo, but it might be worth adding an extra day to your itinerary. Prague Zoo (Zoo Praha) is the most visited zoological garden in Czechia, and is ranked alongside the best zoos in the world. It has annual visitor numbers of around 1.4 million. The zoo is home to around 5000 animals, comprising over 680 species of birds, mammals and reptiles. It is a laid out in zones, with names such as African Savanna, Elephant Valley, the Plains, Northern Forest and the Indonesian Jungle. The grounds stretch to over 69 hectares, from a lush river valley to a steep rocky escarpment to rolling meadows. The views from the highest points are spectacular. The animals range from penguins to lions, tigers and elephants. Markhor and Ibex are superbly held in mountain enclosures, while giraffes roam around a huge valley. Prague Zoo is well worth a visit, not just for the animals, but also for the pleasant countryside. Over the course of 4 or 5 hours you should be able to cover most areas.
The zoo is located about six kilometres outside the city centre and is fairly easy to get to by public transport (by metro then a bus).
