Grébovka, formally known as Havlíčkovy sady, is a 19th-century Neo-Renaissance park located on the slopes of Prague's Vinohrady district. The park was originally commissioned by industrialist Moritz Gröbe as a private villa garden, featuring an artificial grotto, a wooden bowling alley, and an elaborate vineyard. Its terraced layout provides expansive views of the city skyline and the surrounding residential architecture. The site incorporates a functioning vineyard that produces local wine, which is harvested and sold within the park grounds. A prominent fountain and pond complex serves as a central feature of the lower gardens. The park is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes and a mix of formal Italian-style landscaping and wooded paths.
