Letná Gardens

Prague


Lovely Letná Gardens occupies a bluff over the Vltava River, north of the Old Town, and has postcard-perfect views out over the city, river, and bridges. It’s ideal for walking, jogging and drinking at a popular beer garden at the eastern end of the park. From the Old Town, find the entrance up a steep staircase at the northern end of Pařížská ulice (across the bridge). Alternatively, take the tram to Letenské náměstí and walk south for about 10 minutes.

Transportation

  • tram: 1, 8, 12, 25, 26 to Letenské náměstí
