Join me on a beautiful evening as I take you on a walking tour of Prague's Letná Park. I can honestly say that if you haven't seen the view of Prague from this vantage point, you've missed out on something extraordinary. The old buildings and bridges spanning the Vltava River bathed in the golden light of the setting sun are a sight to behold, and I can't wait to share them with you!

Letná Park (Letenské sady) is a large park on Letná hill, built on a plateau above steep embankments along the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Letná's elevation and location afford commanding views of the Prague Old Town (Staré Město). "Leten," originally called "summer camp" or "place to sunbathe," gained its importance in the Middle Ages, when the first military camps were located there due to their strategic location. The areas were mainly vineyards and gardens. It was not until the end of the 19th century that it began to be systematically colonized. Over time, the plains of this city area became a place of meeting, entertainment, and recreation.

In 1955, a lonument to Joseph Stalin was erected at the edge of Letná Park. This statue was destroyed in 1962, and the Prague Metronome now occupies the site. The area around the Metronome is a popular skateboarding location. The Metronome is a 75-foot-tall (23 m) functioning Metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and Prague city center. It was erected in 1991 on the plinth left vacant by the demolition in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. International artist Vratislav Novak designed the Metronome. It may be the largest Metronome in the world.
A plaque at the base of the Prague metronome reads, "In time, all things pass...'. The Metronome beats at four beats per minute.

The popular lookout restaurant Hanavsky pavilion in Letenske sady boasts one of the most beautiful views of Prague's bridges over the Vltava River.
The building of the Hanavsky Pavilion (Hanau's Pavilion) has an exciting history. It was built during the Jubilee Czech Exhibition in 1891 in Prague district Holesovice to represent Komarov Ironworks. It was the first cast-iron building in Prague, cast iron, concrete, and glass. The forge owner, Prince Vilem Hanavsky, after whom the pavilion bears his name, donated it to the city. When the exhibition ended, the pavilion was completely dismantled and moved to Letenske sady (Letna Gardens).
The pavilion in the Neo-Baroque style, designed by Otto Hercik, is an artistic and technical monument. The entrance to the pavilion via a two-armed staircase richly decorated with artistically wrought iron railings is genuinely magnificent. The same feeling you'll get from the pavilion's interior, which is dominated by a wide decorative pillar in the middle. In 1967, the Hanavsky Pavilion underwent extensive reconstruction, which affected the very structural elements of the building and was followed by other restoration work in 1987. The Hanavsky Pavilion is now a beautiful dominant of Letenske sady right next to Kramar's villa, the Czech prime minister's official residence. If you want a unique view of Prague bridges, you can either head to the restaurant's terrace or enjoy the lookout point under the terrace. When looking against the flow of the Vltava River, we see the Manes Bridge in the foreground, Charles Bridge behind it, and then the Legion Bridge, Jirasek Bridge, and Palacky Bridge. The Old Town is directly in front of us with the dominant Tyn Church on the Old Town Square. Newer high-rise buildings on Prague's Pankrac rise on the horizon and, perhaps on every view in Prague, the Zizkov Television Tower.
