This whole area is east of the Vltava river. From north to south the main destinations are commented.

LETNA GARDENS

North of Josefov, across the river, there is a large park located in the Letna hill. In good weather it can be a very nice place to relax or from where contemplate the city, but without it it can be unpleasant and somewhat seedy. There is a giant working metronome presiding (23 meters). Continue reading “JOSEFOV, STARE MESTO, NOVE MESTO AND VYSEHRAD” →

Number of days: 4 hours.
My score: 3/5

The perfect day trip from Prague is this small city where in addition to the architecture of its beautiful buildings, the star is the thermal water that flows every few meters. Founded by Charles IV in 1350 for the alleged healing qualities of the thermal waters, since then it hasn’t stop receiving visitors wishing to drink it or bathe.
