📍 Šafaříkovy Sady

About the venue

Šafaříkovy sady form part of the historic park ring laid out in 1803 after Plzeň's medieval fortifications were demolished. The park runs from the West Bohemian Museum to Křižíkovy sady and is informally known to locals as "špek park". Notable landmarks include a bronze sculpture of the puppet duo Spejbl and Hurvínek, honouring their creator Josef Skupa, and a Václav Havel Bench designed by architect Bořek Šípek. The annual Živá ulice summer festival brings concerts, exhibitions and open-air cinema to the park.
