Letná Park, Hilltop park in Holešovice district, Prague, Czech Republic
The 25-hectare park features grassy areas, mature trees, and colorful bushes along the Vltava River, providing panoramic views of Prague Old Town.
The area transformed from vineyards and military camps in the Middle Ages to a public recreational space during systematic development in the late 19th century.
The park hosted substantial demonstrations during the 1989 Velvet Revolution, gathering 750,000 people who protested against the Communist government.
Visitors reach the park via trams 5, 15, or 17 to Čechův most stop, or from Strossmayerovo náměstí station by walking up Skalecká street.
The park contains Europe's oldest carousel from 1892, which reopened in July 2022 after a 16-year restoration process.

Prague is known for its historic landmarks, but beyond the usual tourist routes lie numerous lesser-visited sites that offer deeper insight into the city's history and contemporary life. This collection takes you to neighborhoods, gardens and buildings often overlooked, revealing the layered past of Prague and its active cultural scene. Among the sites are the hilltop fortress of Vyšehrad with its historic cemetery, the baroque Vrtba Garden in Malá Strana, and Strahov Monastery with its impressive library. Kampa Park on Kampa Island offers quiet walks along the Čertovka Canal, while Speculum Alchemiae presents underground Renaissance-era laboratories. Troja Palace in the northern part of the city features baroque architecture and terraced gardens, and the Convent of St. Agnes houses medieval art collections. Other stops include Wallenstein Garden with its Renaissance arcades, the Letná beer garden overlooking the rooftops, and the former factory site of MeetFactory in Smíchov, now a cultural center. The National Technical Library in Dejvice and the rotating Kafka head sculpture on Národní třída represent contemporary Prague. From the Invalidovna fortress complex in Karlín to the Royal Game Reserve in Bubeneč, this collection provides varied perspectives on the Czech capital.
