Prague Zoo is consistently rated among the world’s best zoos and holds a legitimate conservation record: it participated in the breeding program that recovered the Przewalski’s horse from extinction, and helped return the species to the Mongolian steppe in the 1990s. The Indonesian Jungle and gorilla pavilions are architectural standouts. In the Troja district along the Vltava; bus 112 from Nadrazi Holesovice (metro line C), or summer boat from the city center. Allow half a day.
