Letná Park
Letenské sady
A park on the high ground north of the Vltava, with a giant metronome and a beer garden. It is the best vantage point for the city's bridges.
Letná Park sits on the hill across the river from the Old Town. It once held the world's largest Stalin statue, which was blown up in 1962. The site is now a giant red metronome symbolising the passage of time. The viewing terrace on the park's edge captures the classic image of the Vltava's bridges lined up one after another. In summer the beer garden fills with locals; a beer costs about 60–80 CZK. From the Old Town, walk along Paris Street, cross Čech Bridge and climb the steps for about 10 minutes, or take a tram to Letenské náměstí.
