A Walk Through Post-Industrial Holešovice
About the Tour
Explore one of the most important quarters of Prague, which is almost entirely unknown to visitors. You will receive a first-hand experience of the industrial past and the recent development. We will look behind the façades and learn about floods as well as Prague's Communist past. The route goes along pavements and can be managed with a pram or reduced mobility.
