Prague is a city so you would naturally think of all the different types and styles of buildings within its confines. As the capital city of the Czech Republic it has plenty more than just buildings to offer though. It can be all too easy to forget the fact that it has green spaces, just as many other cities do. Just as New York has Central Park among others and London has numerous Royal parks to explore, so Prague has Letna Gardens. And just as you would make time to see those parks in New York and London among other cities, you should also make the time to see Letna Gardens in Prague.

It doesn’t much matter what time of the year you choose to visit Prague for a city break either. Of course the weather will be more pleasant during the summer months, allowing you longer to sit and relax in the park’s surroundings. But you can also wander through the park during the colder months, perhaps as a respite from some of the sightseeing activities you can do in the city itself. Whatever time of year you go, you should ensure you see Letna Gardens for their beauty and for the views you can get as well.

Known locally as Letenske Sady, Letna Gardens are on a hill, looking down over Prague itself. As such they provide a nice way to get a totally different view of Prague and also to escape from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing for a while. There are plenty of places to sit down and relax while you are there, perhaps taking the opportunity to enjoy a beer or two as well. Indeed there is a beer garden here (enough of a draw for some people to make the trip) and it gives you a wonderful view down over Prague.

If you’ve heard of the Prague Metronome you will find this in the park as well; it replaces the old statue of Joseph Stalin that once bore witness to very different times. In any event you will enjoy your time in Letna Gardens, however long you choose to spend there.
