00:00 Vinohrady (Royal Vineyards) is a cadastral district in Prague. It is so named because it was once covered in vineyards dating from the 14th century. Vinohrady lies in the municipal and administrative districts of Prague 2 (west part), Prague 3 (north-east part) and Prague 10 (south-east part), minor parts also of Prague 1 (Prague State Opera and Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia), and Prague 4 (near Nusle).
Between 1788–1867 it was called Viničné Hory (Vineyard Mountains). From 1867 to 1968, it was called Královské Vinohrady ("Royal Vineyards"). In 1875, Královské Vinohrady was divided into two parts, Královské Vinohrady I and Královské Vinohrady II; part I was renamed Žižkov and part II to Královské Vinohrady in 1877. In 1922 Královské Vinohrady was made part of Prague as district XII. In 1949, the west part was conjoined with Prague 2, and the east remained a separate district, Prague 12. In 1960, when the Prague division was reduced from 16 to 10 administrative districts, the north part of Prague 12 was conjoined with Žižkov into Prague 3, and the south part was joined to Prague 10. Local patriots say that the real reason was that Královské Vinohrady was known as a "bourgeois" district and thus politically unreliable for the then-ruling Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.

18:10 Havlíček Gardens (Grébovka - Havlíčkovy sady), inspired by the Italian Renaissance, has fountains and water cascades, lakes, pavilions, statues, and a charming grotto, as well as a unique view of the city. The lovely vineyard Gazebo is surrounded by extensive vineyards. The Grébovka Pavilion garden café, with its fantastic replica of the original historic bowling alley from the 1870s, offers pleasant places to sit. The Gröbovka garden is defined by the street called U Havlíčkových sadů, Rybalkova Street, and the Botič Stream. It was established as an actual part of the newly built estate of factory owner Moritz Gröbe. Villa Gröbe (Gröbovka, Grébovka) On the slope between Botič and Vinohrady, there used to be two estates with vineyards, Dolní (Lower) and Horní (Upper) Landhauska. In 1870, the estates and the land plots were purchased by an entrepreneur Moritz Gröbe. He had the Upper Landhauska demolished and built his summer residence there, creating a beautiful English park around it. The two-storied villa in a spectacular Italian Renaissance dwelling style was designed by Antonín Barvitius. The actual construction was conducted by builder František Havel in 1871 - 88. The interiors were designed by Josef Schulz. The house's facade, just under the roof, is decorated by a band of frescoes with children's motives by painter Kugler. The sculptural decorations in the interior are the work of sculptor Item. A massive terrace on the villa's ground floor is connected with the recently renewed St. Clara's Vineyard on the slope below the house via a two-flight staircase. There is a splendid view of the town's Southern part from the ground-floor terrace. Moritz Gröbe died in 1891, and it was problematic and costly for his heirs to keep the estate running. After the death of Gröbe's wife, they rented it, and in 1905 they sold it to the town of Královské Vinohrady, which made some necessary modifications, and on 16 May 1906, opened it to the public under the name of Havlíček's Park. The natural diversity of the place was used in establishing the garden. Park modifications were, from the beginning, realized in the spirit of an attractive year-round place with picturesque corners and nicely perfected terraces. The garden was well kept and locked in even until World War things. The bombing of Prague on 14 February 1945 damaged the villa, the entrance gate, and the vivarium (small zoo), and the garden became freely accessible without limitations. After clearing war traces, the park's historical value was gradually destroyed due to the lack of finances for maintenance and vandalism. In 1964, the area was declared an immovable cultural monument. The garden has a very diversified assortment of woody plants - up to 120 kinds. The vineyard was established in place of a former terrain shift, to which 60,000 horse carriages of earth were brought during the construction of the Vinohrady tunnel. Among the varieties grown in the vineyard, there is also Müller - Thurgau, Pinot Gris, and Pinot noir. The vineyard extends 1.7 ha, and annual wine production amounts to 4,000 liters.
