The gigantic Metronome occupies a symbolic spot on the map of Prague. It was directly on this spot that a gigantic monument to Joseph Stalin overlooked the city. It was demolished by dynamite in 1962, many years after his death. The seven-ton Metronome was installed in 1991 and was meant to be a symbol of the new era. The area surrounding it is now a paradise for skateboarders.

Very cool and huge metronome with a great view of the river and the city. The park surrounding it is very nice too.

Metronome is not currently working. Cannot find any explanation. Metronome is a simple mechanical design - ie no engineering or artist talent was required. Very unspectacular. Area covered with graffiti with a threatening atmosphere. Don’t bother.

(Translated by Google) To see from the bridge Two solutions go up on the site to take advantage of the view over Prague. Otherwise to see the metronome stay on the Cechuv most bridge. The metronome has replaced the huge statue of Stalin. For which symbol, mark perpetuity over time (Original) A voir du pont Deux solutions monter sur le site pour profiter de la vue sur Prague. Sinon pour voir le métronome rester sur le pont Cechuv most . Le métronome a remplacer l'immense statue de Staline. Pour quel symbole, marquer la perpétuité dans le temps

Nice place with impressive view. In summer evening are happening culture events. There are located beer pub Stalin, for drinks. Entrance is free and available for every one. For my prague visit, this was the most memorable place and event. Place is not visited by tourists and it's possible feel local vibe

Free city view! You have to climb up many steps to get to this place. Metronome does not seem to be in working condition but it provides a place fir people to hang out. Lots of people at night so it is safe. People drink and talk here. Sometimes they play movies here too so it can be a movie night. I thought the Charles bridge will light up but it did not probably due to construction. Regardless, still a great view of the city!

The metronome itself isn't worth the trip, it doesn't seem to work and it's fairly run down. The view here however is what really makes it worth to come here, it definitely has one of the best views in all places in Prague. The park itself is very communism like, very big but empty and now in very bad state, graffiti everywhere and it seems like skaters have set up some ramps. If you have the time left, then drop by for the view, otherwise skip out on it.

The monument itself is unique but not beautiful by any means. You should come here for the fantastic view of the city, it’s worth the climb up!

Amazing sight to see, but it did not appear to be working while we were there. The graffiti was distracting and unfortunately took away from what could have been a lovely ambiance overlooking the city.

(Translated by Google) From up here you have a good view of the city. The metronome catches the eye from afar. (Original) Von hier oben hat man eine gute Aussicht auf die Stadt. Das Metronom fällt schon von weitem ins Auge.

(Translated by Google) To the metronome you need to walk a little up from the stop. The park itself is not in the best condition ... A plus is the observation deck, which offers a panoramic view of the old town. (Original) До метроному потрібно пройтись трохи вгору від зупинки. Сам парк не в кращому стані...Плюсом є хіба що оглядовий майданчик, з якого відкривається панорама на старе місто.

Great park! Spent 5 days in the area, ran everyday at around the Metronome sculptor! Very nice area and awesome view from the top! Prague is beautiful!!!

Great view across the city ! It’s worth to climb a few stairs to see a great view of the Praha :) Neighborhood is not the cleanest one, but the panorama rewards its all

(Translated by Google) The time machine on Letná, known to many only as the Metronome or the Pendulum, counts down the time in Letenské sady at Edvard Beneš's left-bank embankment directly above the mouth of Čech Bridge. From 1955 to 1962, an infamous monument to dictator J. V. Stalin, mockingly called the "meat front", stood in this place. Its value was 140 million crowns at the time, for which 42,000 cars could be purchased at the time. He stayed here for only seven years, in November 1962 he was only with great difficulty and was shot three times. In 1991, the Metronome, created by the sculptor and professor of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design Vratislav Karel Novák, was installed on this position. Although it really resembles Mälzel's famous reverse pendulum metronome, its mechanical construction is completely different. The metronome, which the author named "Time Machine", is almost 25 meters high and weighs 7 tons. The pendulum could not be installed by crane due to concerns about the disturbed statics of the pedestal after the blasting of the Stalin monument. That's why he was replaced by a giant helicopter. The mystery remains according to which rules the metronome sometimes swayes and sometimes does not. The place under the metronome is especially popular with skaters and skaters who like to train here. The best way to get to the giant pendulum is from the Čechův most tram stop (no. 17, 26) and further up the stairs to Letná. Or from the Sparta tram station (No. 1, 25) and then on foot through the Letná park. You can also get to this place from the Chotkovy sady station (trams 12, 18, 20, 26), but then you have to cross Letná over a short footbridge. (Original) Stroj času na Letné, pro mnohé známý jen jako Metronom či Kyvadlo, odpočítává čas v Letenských sadech při levobřežním nábřeží Edvarda Beneše přímo nad ústím Čechova mostu. V tomto místě stával od roku 1955 - 1962 neslavný pomník diktátora J. V. Stalina, posměšně nazývaný "fronta na maso". Jeho hodnota byla 140 milionů tehdejších korun, za což se tenkrát dalo pořídit 42 tisíc aut. Vydržel tady jen sedm let, v listopadu 1962 ho jenom s velkými obtížemi a na třikrát odstřelili. V roce 1991 byl na toto místo osazen Metronom, který vytvořil sochař a profesor Vysoké školy uměleckoprůmyslové Vratislav Karel Novák. Ačkoli opravdu připomíná Mälzelův slavný metronom s reverzním kyvadlem, jeho mechanická konstrukce je zcela jiná. Metronom, který autor pojmenoval "Stroj času" je vysoký skoro 25 metrů a váží 7 tun. Instalace kyvadla nemohla být provedena jeřábem kvůli obavám z narušené statiky podstavce po odstřelení Stalinova pomníku. Proto jej na místo osadila obří helikoptéra. Záhadou zůstává, podle jakých pravidel se metronom někdy kýve a někdy ne. Místo pod metronomem je oblíbeným zejména u bruslařů a skejťáků, kteří zde rádi trénují. K obřímu kyvadlu se nejlépe dostanete ze zastávky tramvaje Čechův most (č. 17, 26) a dále po schodech nahoru na Letnou. Nebo ze stanice tram Sparta (č. 1, 25) a dále pak pěšky parkem Letná. Dostat se k tomuto místu můžete také ze stanice Chotkovy sady (tram. 12, 18, 20, 26) pak ovšem na Letnou musíte projít přes krátkou lávku.

It wasn’t moving which I thought it would be but this must be a specific event which you should come along for. However, the walk up is hard work but worth it for the great view of Prague. Up the top is an area great for skating if you are interested or just to watch the athletes do their thing. The metronomes size and history are impressive and worth a visit!

(Translated by Google) I like to look at skaters, so 10/10 (Original) Ráda koukám na skejťáky, takže 10/10

An unusual monument but I can't say it's a a beautiful one. Until 1962 there was a huge statue of Lenin here. The place seems to be a meeting point for locals, especially young people, to hang out. Talking about beautiful views of the city, there are several points in Letna Park that offer a much better view.

Very interesting and very different than what you usually see And the landscape is breathtaking

Very nice walk across the city to see the views, plenty of steps to go through but defiantly worth the sights!

The Prague metronome is located at the Svatopluk Čech Bridge just a short distance from Old Town Square and Paris Street. There is a pendulum and a beautiful view of Prague and it towers, Vltava, Hradčany, Prague bridges. Beautiful place and very romantic, so for lovers it is very ideal for a walk.

A very beautiful place. The ascent over the stairs is hard but is rewarded by a wonderful view over the city and the bridges. I can really recommend that.

Fantastic view over the city center from this high point of view! A lit of teenagers skateboarding there which was a bit annoying when we wanted to cross from one side to another and just about every wall if covered in a big layer of graffiti, which is a shame!

Best viewpoint in all of Prague!

Great location to get a view of Old Prague.

Nice Place to hang out, great view.

This is a vibrant place with overflowing youthful energy. It's hands down the best spot to hang out on a summer evening with a beer and watch how the city transforms from day to night. The Stalin bar below serves drinks. In summer you can even enjoy musical performances here. At night it can get quite crowded here. As a visitor I'm very happy that I just randomly came across this location. Highlight of my Prague trip!!!

(Translated by Google) I don't know what it is that offends me. And I'm completely neglected. (Original) Neviem čo to je uráža ma to. A som z toho celý zanedbaný.

(Translated by Google) Park on the hill with a view of Prague. (Original) Parco sulla collina con vista di Praga.

nothing spectacular. the metronome is boring, the view is good. more interesting are the skater, hockey player and dance crews which randomly appear.

Its worth the stairs :) u can go from there till the castle its quieter and the gardens are pretty

Great place with amazing view! Nearby you can also see the skaters!

Not that much to do, but a very nice view, we sat under one of the fire pits all the way up next to the metronome. Drinks are pretty cheap up there at the bar and a lot of alternative skate culture there!!!

The climb is short and the reward(view) is grand! Come up here for a nice panoramic view of the city and its bridges. It is definitely worth it. There’s a bar playing techno music so you can grab a drink here too.

You do not need to buy any tickets for visiting that metronom. i suppose in summer here is so beautiful. anyway you have to see this place to meet Prague better )

One of my favorite public spaces in Prague. If you go to the museum of communism you can see what the site looked like prior to the metronome and learn more about the history.

Its a fantasic viewpoint looking down Parizska street to the old town square. The metonome was where once the Monument for Stalin was erected. It was built 1962 to remind the Czechoslovaks who the real leader is. The Statue was blown up and 1968 the UssR invaded. Now its visited by skaters and teens having a good time or two!!

The view from here is breathtaking. You can see all of the Prague 1 e.g. Old Town Hall and to Žižkov to the Žižkov Television Tower. However, I feel that the place is bit unkempt and in a bad condition. There is litter lying on the ground and there is graffiti everywhere. It's a kind of art, but I think it really ruins the impression of the place. It would be nice to clean it and replace it with some other graffiti that might be related to Prague for example or just leave it clean.

I had a great experience visiting Metronome in Prague. The journey there was really chill and easy, making it convenient to reach. However, I would note that it can get a bit hot during summer days. Despite that, the overall atmosphere was fantastic, and the views from Metronome were breathtaking. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Prague and its iconic landmarks. I highly recommend checking out Metronome for an unforgettable experience!

A cool place to chill, and a bold artistic expression. A nice place to take a walk to.

The metronome is a super nice place to go to, especially in summer. It offers among the best views, if not the best, over Prague. In summer it’s super nice to just hang out there, bring some friends and drinks and enjoy the view or watch the skaters. At some point during summer there are also DJs playing there (no entry fee or anything, it’s just on the lower part of the viewpoint), which is also worth a visit. A small minus would be that the monument itself is nothing spectacular and the area, as others mentioned, could be a bit more cared for - but I guess that’s also part of the character of the place.

Beautiful view of city on top. Graffiti on every corner. Nice place to rest.

A place to enjoy the view of Prague city from the height point.

Good view of the city. Be careful in the winter, the ground is covered with marble and snow which makes it very slippery

Beautiful panoramic view of the city. Very huge metronome but unfortunately it’s not functioning now. There’s a huge park and a small lake where people were taking sun showers during the day. A good location for kids to play.

(Translated by Google) Bad weather. Otherwise good. (Original) Špatné počasí. Jinak dobrý.

It's a bit outside of the city center but it's worth a visit since u have a great view from there. You can also walk to the prague castle from there, which is about a 20 minute walk.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place with one of the best views in Prague! The only thing that spoils it is a lot of garbage around (Original) Krásné místo s jedním z nejlepších výhledů v Praze ! Jediné, co to kazí je hodně odpadků v okolí

(Translated by Google) nice atmosphere (Original) pěkná atmosféra

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view (Original) Bellísima vista

A very unique place to be in prague. A very high spot, good to reach from the oldtown. Been there in december 2019 whilest the wintermarket. The metronome is really big and the place over there is great to relax especially for young people. A lot of skaters were there aswell.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view (Original) Nádherná vyhlídka

(Translated by Google) As in Pentagram's song "Endless", "the world comes and goes, the world does not stop turning" ... life has its own rhythm and a huge metronome placed in one of the most beautiful places of the city to remind us of this ... (Original) Pentagram'ın Sonsuz şarkısındaki gibi "geliyor geçiyor hayat,dönüyor durmuyor dünya"... hayatın kendine has bir ritmi var ve bunu bize hatırlatmak için şehrin en güzel yerlerinden birine konulmuş kocaman bir metronom...

There is always someone young on the skate, so be careful not to be hit. (Original) Nádhera! Doporučuji sem vyrazit večer, když už je tma. Je zde nádherný výhled na rozsvícené město.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view of the city, but the place is very abandoned, a lot of silly graffiti, this place is loved by skaters and rollerbladers (Original) Гарний краєвид на місто, але місце дуже занедбане, багато безглуздих графіті, цю місцину полюбляють скейтери та роллери

(Translated by Google) Formerly a nice place with beautiful views. Today, everything damaged and smeared by nonsense that can never do anything. (Original) Dříve hezké místo s krásným výhledem. Dnes vše poničené a počmárané od nekňubů co nikdy nic nedokážou.

Stunning views of the city both night and day. This is a popular hang out for the teenagers in Prague. Depending on your approach be prepared for a few steps. All in all though, well worth the visit

Nice views of Prague. It is worth a visit. You can get over there by wall from the castle always viewing the city. Once there the town hall is only fifteen minutes walking. It is also interesting to read about these location before the metronom was there.

One of my favourite places in Praha for sure. Night and day it offers an amazing view of the city and the Moldavia from the top. The park itself is good for small walks and the Metronome itself is a really cool sculpture.

The view from there is beautiful! You can see the all city from up. Also, I recommend to go at night for the sunset. You can easily sit there and they have a kiosk/bar with cheap beer so you can have a drink and admire the view at the same time :)

Great place to watch Prague from above. Very nice during the sunset. You can grab some beer&hotdogs from the stands below. They serve beer in nice cups with deposit, cups can be nice souvenirs to save. If you are lucky there will be some street musicians that you can listen while you are enjoying your time watching Prague and drinking beer

Good to see the metronome in action and not many tourists on a cold sunny day.

(Translated by Google) Historic place, however, there is a lot of garbage, but the sunrises (Original) Historické místo, nicméně je tu hodně odpadků, ale ty východy slunce

(Translated by Google) Nice view of Prague, cultural events are held here and there is a nice park (Original) Pekný výhľad na prahu, robia sa tu kultúrne podujatia a je tu pekný park

Such an amazing view from up there.

(Translated by Google) At night, the spot is dimly lit, but it can be assumed that it creates a specific atmosphere. (Original) W ciągu nocy słabo oświetlony punkt, jednak można przyjąć że tworzy to swoisty klimat.

The view from here is fantastic, and it's also an important symbol packed with historic significance and contemporary meaning

(Translated by Google) Good view of Prague, but quite neglected area (if you are looking for a nice view, try the monument on Vitkov hill;)) (Original) Dobry widok na Pragę, ale okolica dość zaniedbana (jeśli szukacie fajnego widoku, spróbujcie monument na wzgórzu Vitkov ;))

(Translated by Google) Dirty surroundings, empty alcohol bottles and PET bottles everywhere. The park is beautiful, but all this spoils. (Original) Okolí špinavé, všude prázdné láhve od alkoholu a PET lahve . Park je krásný, ale toto vše kazí.

(Translated by Google) Best seat reservation in Prague Pr beautiful view of the whole of Prague And a great place for a beer with a view. (Original) Najlepsza miejscówka w Pradze😍 piękny widok na całą Pragę I świetne miejsce na piwo z widokiem.

Extraordinary, but beware a lot of skaters

(Translated by Google) Great view (Original) Super výhled

Great view and one of the coolest places in Prague.

(Translated by Google) Very nice point of view even if the place itself is quite degraded. (Original) Très beau point de vu même si le lieu en lui même est assez dégradé.

(Translated by Google) A great place! It takes a bit of effort to get up the stairs but definitely worth it. At the top, beautiful views and an interesting atmosphere. During the day, the guys skate, in the evening - music, beer, joints ... (Original) Super miejsce! Wejście wymaga trochę wysiłku po schodach, ale zdecydowanie warto. Na górze piękne widoki i ciekawy klimat. W ciągu dnia chłopaki jeżdżą na deskach, wieczorem muzyka,piwo, jointy..

Situated on the ancient Stalin sculpture you can find a bar during summertime and have a good view. Perfect place to share a beer in fact !

This spot offers classy outlook on Prague's skyline. Gentle stench of communism is still present there as whole area was shaped to serve as pedestal for monumental Stalin sculpture. Allegedly today it's one of better locations for outdoor partying.

Breathtaking park. Have your headphones in and just go for a walk and chill.

Best place in town. Awesome views.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view, pity the dirt in the area. (Original) Nádherný výhled, škoda té špíny v okolí.
