"The parks stretching from the Edvard Beneš Embankment to the Letná Plain encompass 25 hectares and are among Prague's earliest public parks. Originally known as Letná Hill, this area transitioned from vineyards and army camps in the 17th century to a public park in the 1860s, following purchases by the city. Designed by Bedřich Wünscher and Jiří Braul, it features attractions such as the Letná Chateau and a historic carousel, alongside a variety of tree species, including prominent sycamores and newly planted apple trees."
Remi Gourmel
"Without a doubt, my favorite viewpoint in Prague is Letna Park. I lived nearby for a few years and built so many nice memories there. From there, you enjoy an unbelievable view of Prague and all its bridges. From April to September, you can enjoy a nice drink at their beer garden while getting lost in the view that unfolds in front of you. Whether you walk around the park at night, in the morning or during the day, in the spring, the summer, the autumn or the winter, Letna always has something new to offer. "
