Novák’s triangular metronome has a bright-red arm that is 75 feet (23 meters) long and clearly visible from Prague Castle, as well as from the river and its bridges below. The graffiti-covered area immediately surrounding the metronome is a popular skate park and also serves as a viewing point and photographic backdrop.
Sightseeing tours by bike, electric scooter, and Segway often stop at a viewpoint so that you can take photos of the metronome. At night the installation is illuminated and makes for a great view while on a dinner cruise along the Vltava River.
Just a 15-minute walk, over the Charles Bridge, from Old Town Square, the Prague Metronome is easily accessible from the center. If traveling by Prague Metro, take Line A to Malostranská (a 10-minute walk), or take tram number 1, 8, 25, or 26 to Letenské náměstí (a 12-minute walk).
The Prague Metronome is always accessible. The ideal time to visit is summer when you can soak up the sun on the grassy lawn of Letná Hill while enjoying the view.
Letná Park, located on Letná Hill, overlooks the Vltava River and offers great views over the graceful baroque spires of Prague’s Old Town. The park is well known for its beer gardens, bars, and picnic spots, making it a great place to linger after checking out the metronome.
