Before you go
How to enjoy the Prague views
Letná for the bridges
From the park's edge, by the metronome, the Vltava bridges line up one after another. Climb the steps from Čechův Bridge.
Sunset at Riegrovy sady
The lawn faces west towards the Castle: it's where locals go to watch the sun go down.
Vyšehrad by Metro
Get off at Vyšehrad on line C and walk in through the Tábor Gate. The rampart walk looks out over the Vltava.
Kampa and Wallenstein together
Both gardens are in Malá Strana, ten minutes apart on foot, with the Lennon Wall in between.
