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 are watching the budget and you only have one day.
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.

The catch: it's a park, so 'nothing to do' for sights-driven travellers, and it's exposed and bleak off-season.
