This place must be absolutely stunning in the late spring and early summer. It’s very pretty even just now, with most of the trees and shrubs still bare.
The park is incredibly popular with all age groups: families, couples, and solos. Also, a lot of doggies (on leashes, of course) and joggers.
There are several viewpoints that overlook the Vltava River and dozens of benches elsewhere on which to sit and soak up the atmosphere.
Notable features in the park include:
1. Hanavský Pavilion - originally built as the representative pavilion of the Komárov Ironworks for the Prague Jubilee Exhibition in 1891; now, it’s a pricey restaurant with stunning views of Prague’s bridges.
2. The Prague Metronome - in Letná Park since 1991, where a monstrous Stalin monument used to be; this sculpture represents the relentless passage of time and is a cautionary reminder of times past.
The major irritants are the skateboarders, the empty booze bottles (broken), and the ugly graffiti. But … the park is big enough to escape those irritants.

This is a huge park overlooking the Vltava river and many bridges of Prague. Its very photogenic. If you are looking for panaromic pictures, this is the place to go. Since, it is on a hill, we decided to take the easier way. We took a tram from Malastranska square. You can take either tram no 18 or 20 (north bound). Get down at Hradcanska. Letna Park entrace is just 5-7 minutes walk from this tram stop. This walk is completely flat, there is no uphill walk. However bear in mind this entrance of the Letna Park is opposite to the Vltava river side. So to get the famous views, you need to walk the entire width of the park to get to the other side. It should not take more than 15 minutes. There are 3-4 particular places from where you will get unobstructed view of the river, bridges and the city skyline. These are easy to find. While returning, we just came down from the hill through one of the roads going down towards the river. Down below, there is a tram stop cechuv most from where you can take a tram if you need to.
Make it one of the must see places in Prague, as it wont be that crowded and you will get a refreshingly nice views of the entire city, yet being within the city limits. Entrance is completely free.

We visit Prague at least twice a year and whenever we get back to the city we have a walk at Letna Park, enjoy a coffee nearby and wander around, enjoying the views over the castle, Charles Bridge and old Town.
The park has lots of benches where you can relax and enjoy your time, or you can simply walk its length and gain your way to the entry to the castle.
There are fewer tourists here and lots of locals walking their dogs, it seems a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Totally recommend.

We were in Prague for a stag do, and the bar was loads of fun, good priced drinks. It was a really nice environment and our waitress Cristina was great, she got us talking to another group who we made friend with and ended up joining us.
The music was great and we had some good cocktails. Cristina made the night really special by having fun with the group and being really friendly.
Great night, too bad! Loved it

Arh a welcome break from the crowds. Enjoyed every moment of tranquility. Mothers with prams, locals relaxing, surprising amount of wild life (saw squirrels, woodpeckers, and many other smaller birds). Superb views of the city and the remnant of the Stalin monument.

went jogging there every day while in Prague. It is a large, safe and fairly clean park and it definitively beats the inner city where out accommodation was - with all the traffic and pollution. And just getting up there from the river level is a workout itself.

Letna park is known for the amazing views of the river Vltava and all the bridges down below.
No matter what the season the views are spectacular every time. The area where the Metronome is, is run down and the least favorite part of the park.
The Hanavsky Pavilon makes a nice stop for lunch or coffee. the Beer Garden is a popular spot in the summer.

If you find yourself in the Castle area , as most tourists do, and want or need a little respite from the hustle and bustle, head to the Letna Park.
Or from the Old Town, crossing a bridge. But the climb up the hill is a bit more strenuous. Mostly for the young and athletic among us ...
Anyway, whichever way you get there , I am sure you will enjoy the spectacular views of the river with the bridges down below. Worth the trip, in my opinion .
Look for the Hanavsky Pavilon restaurant, the best views are from there.
Their terrace offer refreshments ...

Letna Park is properly one of the less well know spot but definite worth a visit place.
From the park, you will have the perfect view of most of the bridges along the river. Also it is not full of tourists and you can enjoy a slow and leisure walk along the park.

The Letna park is known for the amazing views of the river Vltava and all the bridges down below, very different that the views from the other large park Petrin In the Mala Strana location. I have seen it at various times of the day and in different seasons over the years and it looks spectacular every time. To reach the Letna park take a nice comfortable walk from the back of the Castle. I prefer that to coming from the Old Town across the Cechuv bridge, because the climb up the steps is quite a workout. The area around the Metronome that replaced the humongous statue of Stalin, seems neglected and is the least favorite part of the Letna park. The Hanavsky Pavilon located there makes a nice stop for lunch, afternoon cake and coffee or dinner. The Beer garden also appears to be a popular spot. But of course - you are in Prague- you can find beer just about anywhere :)

Hello, I'll be visiting in early November with two elderly parents and a 20 month old toddler. The main reason for visiting this park is to get a good view (near Hanau Pavilion?). May I know what is the best route to take to minimize the climbing?

We walked up and maybe to much for elderly parents. Take the tram. They have the best system I have ever seen. You never have to wait long. The park is something you want to visit.

für Gehbehinderte leider nicht zu empfehlen, sowieso werden Sie nur die schöne Aussicht nicht geniessen können, da der Park an sich kein wirkliches Highlight ist (ziemlich dreckig, Skatepark für Jugendliche...)

Does anyone know if the park / beer garden would be a good place to visit on New Year’s Eve?
Thanks

Probably not, unless it is on your way home from a pub or a dance with significant other and you want to have romantic first look on Prague and Vltava bridges in 2019

Hi - in my honest opinion, I would stay in and around the City, the park is ok, but it has its down sides, graffiti, homeless people, etc!
There are plenty of nice places to go instead of here.
