Prague Top Attractions and Sightseeing - #1

Probably you have seen above view of Prague in many Prague postcards and sites. For me, it is very special and favorite place in the city. Besides this magic view Vltava river and row of bridges (including historical Charles bridge), you can also see central old town of Prague, and get that feeling of being in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. In other words, that's where you feel what is Prague about. Besides there's beautiful cafe, Hanavsky Pavilon (Hanau Pavilion), at this very point where you can sit and enjoy your food and drink together with this picteristique view.

How to get there?
It is located in Letna Park, great place for jogging, relaxing and enjoying view of the city from above. In fact it is just in walking distance either from Prague Castle, Charles Bridge or Old Town Square. Below map shows the exact place (marked by "1" in blue sign) of Hanavsky Pavilon.
From old town square walk towards the river on Parizska street, cross the Cechuv Bridge and climb up the hill stairs (you will see huge pendulum in front of you on the hill, previously there used to stand biggest statue of Stalin). Once you reach the pendulum, walk towards Prague castle along the top edge of the hill and follow the signs.

It's usually hot spot for photographers. Make sure you bring your camera and videocameras and make most of it.

Here's sneak preview of the view from that spot and Hanavski Pavilon cafe;
