Letna Park
About
Letná Park, affectionately known as Letenské sady, sprawls over 25 hectares in Prague’s Holešovice neighbourhood, offering expansive lawns, towering trees, and a long plane tree‑lined avenue. The park is a favourite haunt for locals and tourists alike, whether they are exploring its playgrounds, taking part in inline skating on its dedicated lanes, or simply unwinding amid the serene scenery. Highlights include the historic Hanavský Pavilion—a distinctive cast‑iron structure housing a café and restaurants—and the iconic Prague Metronome, a towering pendulum that has become a symbol of the city. The park also hosts seasonal festivals, concerts, and cultural events, making it a vibrant hub of activity. With free admission and open‑to‑public spaces, visitors can spend an entire afternoon strolling, picnicking, or enjoying the sweeping views of the Vltava and historic city centre.
