Letná Park
The broad clifftop park above the river — the giant metronome where Stalin's statue stood, skaters, runners and the city's best free panorama.
The call
Worth it if you're watching the budget and you only have one day.
Short answer
Is Letná Park worth it?
Letná Park deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
Beyond its beer garden, Letná is a great green plateau for a walk, a run or a sunset on the bluff, with the kinetic metronome on the old Stalin-monument plinth as a quirky focal point.
- 02
The catch: it's a park, so 'nothing to do' for sights-driven travellers, and it's exposed and bleak off-season.
