Letná Park, Hilltop park in Holešovice district, Prague, Czech Republic

Letná Park covers about 25 hectares on a plateau of the Letná hill in Prague 7, between 192 and 230 metres above sea level, above the steep slope down to the Vltava. Two promenade routes run through it, one along the brow of the slope, the other from the Letná chateau towards the Písecká Gate. The eastern part, laid out by František Thomayer, has avenues of London plane and a Neo-Renaissance restaurant building.

The area was originally covered with vineyards and military installations from medieval times. During the late 1800s, it was deliberately transformed into a public recreation space for the city.

The park served as a gathering place during the 1989 Velvet Revolution when people came together to voice their opposition to Communist rule. Today, this location holds deep meaning as a symbol of that pivotal moment in Czech history.

The park is accessible by tram from several directions, and walking routes connect it to nearby neighborhoods. The sloping terrain means visitors can explore different areas to find their preferred viewpoints and shaded spots.

The carousel in the park dates from 1892 and is listed as the oldest surviving one in Europe. After a 16-year closure it reopened in July 2022, and it stands near the restaurant in the eastern part of the park, among plane-tree avenues.
