Large metronome erected up on the hill overlooking Prague, on the same site where the world's largest monument to Joseph Stalin once sat. After Stalin's death and fall from historical favor, the Czechs destroyed the Stalin statue in 1963. In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet empire and the success of the Czech velvet revolution, the metronome was installed in the same location, meant to indicate that "time moves on; in time, all things pass."

Firstly, when I was there, there was a haze, that ruined all what I have expected for. Secondly, near to this place there is a better viewspot of the Danube River and with the Prague Castle in sight and I recommend to visit that one over this one. Lastly, there was a lot of litter everywhere and the Metronome itself was not working. Overall, I think that I would prefer to describe this place only as a meet-up point and that's it. I don't think that the Metronome is a necessity for picturing the Prague, while others and much better spots can be found around the city.

In looking at what it is and what its about, it stands where there was once a Stalin statue was erected for the communist era and now symbolizes that time has moved on. Well, time has moved on its way past time for this this. The only reason we looked at it was we were in Letna park for the view. It wasn't working when we were there. There were a lot of people sitting and drinking around this and people skateboarding in the area behind it and a lot of rubbish and graffiti around. It was the least pleasant place I visited in my 4 days in Prague. Not worth it in my opinion. The only decent thing about it is the view back down the Vltava river and its not far from Letna Beer garden.
