Enjoy a great panoramic view of Prague from the spot where a giant statue of Josip Stalin was overseeing its Czechoslovak underlings. Shortly after its installment, Nikita Chruscev revealed Stalin's atrocities in his famous speech, and Stalin's monument was removed. Only the monument's base survived to the present day, a big metronome was installed on it instead of the statue and the location became a popular viewpoint for young people dating or showing their skateboarding skills.
