Sunshine seeps through the trees at Letná Park
Walking through a hilly wooded area to get to Letná Park is no picnic, but the views once you reach the top are spectacular. Letná Park is a large park built on a plateau next to the Vltava river and it has commanding views of Old Town Prague. Letná Park was also home to the largest statue of Stalin at one point, but it was torn down in 1962. Part of me was jealous that people living here got to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature while at the same time having the amazing panorama of Prague all the time. The weather has been seemingly perfect the past few days with sunshine and highs of 80s, and there is no better way to spend these days than strolling through one of the many parks Prague has to offer. Many people here think so as well. Couples were canoodling, kids were riding their tricycles, groups of friends were laughing and drinking, while other people were practicing sports such as skateboarding (there is a makeshift skateboard park made out of granite benches), martial arts, or some form of cricket, and of course I saw about 50 dogs being walked while I was here. I really love the parks that Prague has to offer because they are enormous, never-ending and have gorgeous gardens. The natural relief from the city causes people to relax and makes it easy to enjoy summer days, I know I did.
