This green space located in the Lesser Town, provides great views of the Old Town, just across the river. We loved the public art here, including the Golden Penguins and the "Babies".
Standing in one single file line, 34 penguins flank a metal beam along the river of Vltava in Kampa Park. Despite their adorable stature, yellow hue, and tiny broad bellies, the penguins' appearance comes with a warning against the dangers of climate change and plastic consumption.
Created by the Cracking Art Group, a Milan-based art movement, the yellow penguins are all made from recycled bottles. By repurposing plastic, the group hoped to inspire new dialogues surrounding plastic waste and its impact on the environment. They are especially visible at night when they are all lit up in a Golden Hue.
Also, located just outside the nearby Museum Kampa (which houses modern European art), you can find David Černý's arresting Babies sculptures. The eerie installation features three giant crawling babies san faces.
A walk through Kampa Park also offers views of Charles Bridge. A great spot to relax while in Prague. read more
