Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

A broad green clifftop plateau for a walk, run or sunset on the bluff, with the city's best free panorama over the Vltava and its bridges.
Not independently verified — estimated
The kinetic metronome on the plinth that once held the world's largest Stalin monument is a quirky, history-laden focal point.
Not independently verified — estimated
It's a park, so 'nothing to do' for sights-driven travellers, and it's exposed and bleak off-season.
