What you'll see
One of Europe's largest city parks: open grassland, woods, a tall obelisk, the President's house behind its railings, and a herd of wild fallow deer that wander the meadows.
A brief history
It was walled in as a royal deer park in the 1660s and opened to the public about eighty years later. The deer are descendants of that first herd.
