Letná Park
Letná Park - a beautiful park in Prague on the left bank of the Vltava River, is the second largest park in the urban area of Prague 7. Due to the fact that it is located on a hill you can see many of the sights of the city, including Prague Castle, the Old Town and Petrshin. This is a popular place for walking and skating.
The name of the park is translated as Air Gardens, sometimes it is called light capital, since they occupy a huge territory of 25 hectares. City authorities bought these lands for arrangement in the 19th century. Until 1919, the park was called the "Gardens of the Crown Prince Rudolph". In Soviet times, a huge monument to Stalin was erected on the top of the hill, while the largest monument in Europe was erected. But already in 1962 he was blown up, and in his place they put him as a metronome. One of the main attractions of the Letensky Gardens is the Ganava Pavilion, built of glass, metal and gypsum specifically for the 1891 industrial exhibition. Nowadays, it houses a restaurant with national and international cuisine.
Letensky Park is a favorite vacation spot for residents of Prague, as well as guests. Here you can renounce the bustle of the city: sit on a bench, reading a book, wallow on the lawn in sunny weather. If you wish, you can ride an old carousel, installed back in 1892. The carousel figure is made of wood and covered with real horse skin. Previously, to ride a carousel, I had to push it, but with the development of technology, an electric motor was put on it. A very popular place in the gardens is the Brussels Pavilion, which was built for the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels, and after its end was dismantled and transported to Prague. Until 1989, the Expo-58 restaurant was located in the building, but then it was destroyed. In 2000, he was bought by Havas Worldwide Prague, restored, and arranged her residence in it.
Adherents of a healthy lifestyle can go to sports fields where they can play team sports, or go for a run or take a ride on equipped paths. The tracks are built so as not to interfere with vacationers. After physical exertion, you can go to a restaurant.
