Papilonia – Butterfly House in Prague

Imagine an abandoned temple in the rainforest, which gradually absorbs the surrounding vegetation. The trees grow into the walls, the vines surround the defenseless statues... Now imagine that it is in such a place that butterflies live happily and flutter around. There are hundreds and hundreds of them. And they are the most beautiful butterfly species on our planet! You don’t have to venture to the jungles of South America or distant Asia for such an experience, but can enjoy it right in the center of Prague!

Full Description

Papilonia is a butterfly house under artificial lighting, which is a globally unique attraction. The climate here is the same as in a tropical jungle, the area of the butterflies’ natural habitat. Each area of Papilonia’s flight zone has its own unique style, making the atmosphere of the tour an unparalleled experience.
You will observe hundreds of specimens from nearly thirty of the most beautiful species of butterfly on Earth. There are no barriers between guests and the butterflies. Our butterflies are not afraid of people. A winged beauty may thus land on you at some point.
Photography is not limited or charged in the butterfly house. Therefore, always have a camera ready in case a "flying gem" chooses your shoulder for landing and a short rest.
The hatchery with butterfly chrysalises will be right in front of your eyes, and you may even be lucky enough to witness them hatching from cocoons and stretching their wings for their very first flight.
