![]() The MetronomePlaced on the hill of Letná Park in 1991 and designed by artist Vratislav Novak, in the spot left vacant by the destruction in 1962 of a Joseph Stalin momument. .[1] The meaning behind the metronome is unclear, there's a few theries... but its an amazing view from up there also a popular skate boarding spot. | ![]() Communist MuseumIntrigeing riff-raff from the Communist era curated by U.S expats - the museum is sandwiched between a McDonalds and a casino...(very funny guys) | ![]() Furtura Modern Art GalleryContemporary art space, donation only to have a look around. Audio Visual exhibitions mainly- and highly challenging 'art'. You can also find David Cerny's sculpture "brownnosing" in the courtyard. Amusing and offensive and profoundly tricky to find unless you go down the staircase, through the passageway and look sideways out the window |

![]() The Lennon WallPolitical graffiti and beatles lyrics -Street Art at its epic finest | ![]() Sculture of Don Giovanni's GhostThe piece must be hollow because the sculpture was once brilliantly squeezed back together after the fire department had to extract a drunk teenage girl who got stuck during a photo shoot at 4am one morning | ![]() Storm clouds and sketchy vacant lot |
![]() The Cemetary at VyšehradA decent walk down the River heading toward the Prague 4 district, there's a steep climb to a large cathedral and cemetery which some intriguing headstones. This one I never want to see at night. Some of the head stones are works of art. | ![]() Who's in charge here?Shoes tossed to the power lines near the Metronome in Letna Park. | ![]() View from the Metronome- Letna Park |
![]() Off the Map - Holečkova StA great example of what happens when you wander off the edge of the the tourist map. I took this when I was walking up Holečkova St, trying to find the Furtura Gallery. | ![]() View across the river from Vyšehrad |

Cities Without Make-up
GUILTY OF:
Rampant hosting of binge drinking parties
Impossibly beautiful buildings, river scenes and general Postcard Pornography
Stage Lighting designed and commisioned by the Rolling Stones for Prague Castle
BREIF WANDERLUST OR SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP ?
Definitely might go there again but only in the winter, on weeknights or in the early mornings. Too many squealing teens hanging around in the peak season
Score/5: ♥♥♥♥♡
Pretty Prague
....and off the beaten track
