What kind of Treasures are hidden at Letná

In the past was this luxurious area called “Letná pole”, which meant a well sunlit place. In the Middle Ages military camps were there. One of the streets leading to Bubeneč is called Korunovační (Coronation). It is named after Přemysl Otakar II who in 1261 organised coronation banquet there.

Letná Park with its Luxurious Vistas

Letná Park represents one of the main advantages of Letná. Perched on a hill it offers luxurious views of the city. Also located there in the park is the famous Prague metronome and, since 1960 the Brussels Pavilion has stood there which currently provides office space. You can also discover the neo-Renaissance Letná Mansion dating from 1863 and on the other side stands the Hanava Pavilion.

Stromovka – a Natural and a Cultural Monument

Stromovka sprawls across the opposite side of Letná Park, which was formerly called the Royal Game Reserve. This vast Prague Park that is maintained in the style of an English park offers a perfect location for picnics, walks, cycling or rollerblading. Stromovka Park is protected as a natural monument and, in association with the Governor’s Summer House, also as a cultural monument.
