PARKS NEAR THE ARENA HOSTEL
Parks and gardens are a big part of Prague's charm, especially in the summer. Luckily, Arena Hostel is located very close to two major parks which will invite you for a stroll and a beer ...
StromovkaStromovka is adjacent to the Vystaviste (Exhibiton Grounds) complex accross the street. It is one of Prague's best maintained parks and contains the Planetarium (shown below). On the far end of Stromovka, walk across to the other side of the Vltava, using the foot bridge. You'll enter the Emperor's Island, inhabited by outdoor-loving Praguers enjoying miniature gardens, boat landings and riding stables, as well as the Zoo, Japanese Garden and Troja Chateau on the far side. |

Letna ParkAlso nearby is Letna Park, overlooking the Vltava river, Old Town and the Castle. The viewpoint, marked by a gigantic Metronome, once displayed an enormous statue of Stalin, which was blown up during the "deStalinization" period. Today's Letna is the ultimate place for a summer evening beer. Letna Park is famous for it's lovely views, beer gardens and steps leading down to the river. |
