Letná Park
About

Perched atop Letná Hill, Letná Park offers sweeping views of Prague’s historic centre and the Vltava River’s iconic bridges. Once a military camp and later home to the world’s largest Stalin monument, the park now features the Prague Metronome—a kinetic sculpture marking time and memory. Its tree-lined paths, beer garden, and Art Nouveau Hanavský Pavilion make it a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike. The park also hosts Europe’s oldest carousel, restored in 2022, and serves as a venue for cultural events, including the annual Letní Letná circus festival. With its blend of history, recreation, and panoramic beauty, Letná Park is both a peaceful retreat and a vibrant cultural landmark.

Location

Letná Park (Letenské sady) is perched on a hill on the left bank of the Vltava River, offering some of the most spectacular panoramic views of Prague’s historic skyline, including the Old Town and Prague Castle. The main entrances are easily reached from the city center, either by walking from Old Town across Čech Bridge and up the stairs, or by taking tram lines 12, 25, 26, 1, or 8 to Letenské náměstí, followed by a short walk. Spanning 52 hectares, Letná Park is a vibrant urban oasis known for its expansive lawns, tree-lined paths, and lively atmosphere. The park is famous for the Prague Metronome, a massive kinetic sculpture that stands where the Stalin monument once dominated the skyline, and for the Letná Beer Garden, a favorite local hangout with unbeatable city views. Other highlights include the historic Hanavský Pavilion, the oldest carousel in Europe, and Letenský zámeček, a neo-Renaissance mansion with a gourmet restaurant. Just a short stroll away are the National Technical Museum and the National Gallery’s Veletržní Palace, while the nearby Generali Arena is home to Sparta Prague football club. Letná Park’s central location and scenic setting make it ideal for relaxation, sports, and enjoying Prague’s cultural life.
