Letna Park offers the best panoramic view of Prague’s bridges and Old Town spires from the bluff above the Vltava’s left bank. At the western end, a kinetic metronome stands on the pedestal where the world’s largest Stalin monument stood from 1955 until its demolition in 1962. The park is a local neighborhood amenity as much as a tourist site: beer gardens, joggers, and skateboarders alongside visitors. Letenske sady, Prague 7; tram to Letenske namesti or a 15-minute walk from the Old Town waterfront. Free access at all times.
