The Prague Botanical Garden in Troja will raise its admission prices from 3 November 2026. An adult visitor will pay 240 koruna when buying on site instead of the current 180 koruna, and 210 koruna when buying online instead of 150 koruna. The council of the capital city of Prague took note of the information on the adjustment of the price list on 2 November 2026 [1][2].
New price list
Children from four to fifteen years and pupils and students up to twenty-six years will pay 160 koruna on site and 130 koruna online, compared with 120 and 100 koruna so far. Seniors from sixty years and holders of the ZTP card will pay 130 koruna on site and 110 koruna online, compared with 95 and 75 koruna so far. Admission for seniors over seventy remains 50 koruna, and entry with a dog continues to cost 100 koruna [1][2].
The family ticket is extended by one child, so that it will apply to two adults and four children instead of the current three. On site it will come to 720 koruna, online to 640 koruna; so far it was 540 and 450 koruna. Children up to their fourth birthday will enter free of charge, whereas so far this applied to children up to two years [1][2].
Reasons for the change
The director of the garden, Bohumil Černý, justified the increase by rising operating costs and the development of the grounds. Since the last adjustment of the basic price list in 2023, the garden has opened a new exhibition pavilion and the Vinotéka sv. Kláry with a tasting room and made new exhibitions accessible, for example the Japanese Mist Forests and the Archa Bohemica [1][2].
In a letter addressed to Prague City Hall, Černý stated that the organisation wants to increase its own income so that it does not cover higher operating needs only from the city's contribution. In preparing the price list, the garden, according to him, also compared admission prices at other cultural, educational and leisure facilities [1][2].
The garden
The Prague Botanical Garden was founded in 1969. At first it was open to the public only on open-door days, and it has been open all year round since August 1992. The outdoor exhibitions cover almost 25 hectares. In the 1990s the garden took over the management of the heritage-protected Vinice svaté Kláry, which can be visited every day [1][2].
