In Prague, Molochov is the popular name of the functionalist building completed in 1938 whose long façade faces Letná Park's north side. Il holds its name from Moloch due to the "colossal" dimensions of its façade, 252 m long and 16,5 m high. It is located on Milada Horáková street. The complex is composed of fourteen building units joined by a single façade.It was built between 1936 and 1938, by the architects Josef Havlíček (designer of the façade unifying the different building units), Ernst Mühlstein, Victor Furth, František Votava, Leo Lauermann and the brothers Otto and Karel Kohn (designers of seven out of the fourteen units). The Kohn brothers fled Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938 and could not finish their part of the work which was therefore taken over by Havlíček. Since 1964, it is protected as a historical monument.

Letná is a hill overlooking Prague historic centre and Vltava River just besides Prague Castle. It neighbours Stromovka, the largest park in Prague. The hill belongs to Holešovice and Bubeneč quarters of Prague 7. The main part of Letná is Letná Plain (Letenská pláň), a large empty plain and Letná Park (Letenské sady) popular for summer strolls and informal sports (inline skating and jogging being the most popular here). Several rock concerts took place here, Michael Jackson (1996), Rolling Stones (2003) both with an over 120,000 audience. Due to its position it used to be the venue for the largest Stalin statue in Europe. The statue was torn down in the 1960s and the Prague Metronome now occupies the site. The football stadium of AC Sparta Prague, Generali Arena, is also located here.

The Embassy of Russia in Prague is the diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation to the Czech Republic. The chancery is located at Ukrajinských hrdinů [1] in the Bubeneč neighbourhood of Prague 6 district in Prague. Prior to the 2021 disclosure of Russian responsibility in the 2014 Vrbětice ammunition warehouses explosions, more than 130 people in Russian employ were based at the embassy including over 40 accredited as diplomats. Balkan Insight notes that "Czech security services have long seen the giant Russian embassy as a significant risk, and a base for Moscow’s intelligence activities throughout Europe."

Stalin's Monument (Czech: Stalinův pomník) was a 15.5 m (51 ft) granite statue honoring Joseph Stalin in Prague, Czechoslovakia. It was unveiled on 1 May 1955 after more than 5+1⁄2 years of work, and was the world's largest representation of Stalin. The sculpture was demolished in late 1962.

Náměstí Borise Němcova (Boris Nemtsov Square) (until 27 February 2020 Pod kaštany Square) is a square in Prague 6, Bubeneč, which houses the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Czech republic.

The Metronome is a 75-foot-tall (23 m) functioning metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, on the plinth left vacant by the demolition in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The metronome was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak. It may be the largest metronome in the world. Although the metronome is functional, it is not always in operation. A plaque at the base of the Prague metronome reads "In time, all thing pass...'. The metronome beats at 4 beats per minute. The site offers a scenic view of the city and is now mostly used as a meeting place for skateboarders and other people.

Blanka Tunnel Complex is a part of the inner Prague City Ring Road. It is the longest road tunnel in the Czech Republic and the longest city tunnel in Europe.The complex connects the area west of Prague Castle with Trója district in the northeast. Its length is about 5.5 km and consists of three tunnels: Bubenečský, Dejvický and Brusnický. The tunnel complex was designed to relieve the historic center of Prague from heavy traffic. In a first 49-month period it was used by 139 million cars, according to official statistics.The city's leadership, led by Mayor Pavel Bém, originally promised that the tunnel would reduce traffic, noise and emissions throughout the area. But this has not happened: the amount of traffic emissions has increased and continues to exceed health limits. The number of cars on Prague streets has increased by 11% due to induced demand, and traffic congestion has worsened. Every year, traffic in Blanka tunnel complex produces more than 40 million kilograms of CO2.

Stromovka (Royal Game Reserve) is a large park in the Bubeneč district of Prague. It sits on the floodplain of the river Vltava. At present, it spreads over an area of 95 hectares. It was established in the thirteenth century as a game reserve for the nearby summerhouse. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was converted into a park, which later in the 19th and 20th centuries was reduced by the construction of railways, the building of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Planetarium, a ship canal, and last but not least by the construction of the exhibition ground. The park is maintained as an English landscape garden. It is protected as a natural monument as well as a cultural monument.A shopping mall named Centrum Stromovka opened in 2019 adjacent to the park, in Veletržní street. Centrum Stromovka, named after the park, is a convenience-based shopping mall of 15,000 sq m and 84 units.

Letná Park (Czech: Letenské sady) is a park in Prague, Czech Republic. It is located on Letná hill, on a plateau above steep embankments along the Vltava River. Letná's elevation and location afford commanding views of the Prague Old Town (Staré Město). "Leten", originally called "summer camp" or "place to sunbathe", gained its importance in the Middle Ages, when the first military camps were located there due to their strategic location. The areas were mainly vineyards and gardens. It was not until the end of the 19th century that it began to be systematically colonized. Over time, the plains of this area of the city became a place of meeting, entertainment and recreation. In 1955, a large monument to Joseph Stalin was erected at the edge of Letná Park. This statue was destroyed in 1962 and the Prague Metronome now occupies the site. In the "Normalisation" period after the Warsaw Pact troops invasion of 1968, the park was the location for the founding event of the Czech Women's Automobile Club. In January 1969 a group of women driving instructors and motoring journalists put on a public skills test for women drivers, which led to the formation of the club. The club is still active. During the Velvet Revolution, a plain next to the Letná Park (Letná Plain) was the site of some important demonstrations against the Communist government. On the 25th and 26 November 1989, approximately 750,000 people protested in here. Singer Michael Jackson kicked off his HIStory World Tour at the park on 7 September 1996; approximately 130,000 people attended the concert. On 23 June 2019, more than 250,000 people gathered on the Letná plain, calling on Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to resign amid allegations of conflict of interest and criminal fraud. Nowadays the Letná Park is conceived more as an area of recreation, leisure and outdoor sports practice. The area around the metronome is a popular skateboarding location.
