Prague Guide

Tucked into a huge U-bend in the River Vltava and less known by tourists, this late nineteenth-century suburb of Holešovice boasts two huge splodges of green: Letná, overlooking the city centre, and, to the north, Stromovka, the city's largest public park, bordering the Výstaviště funfair and trade fair grounds. A stroll through the park gives you access to the Baroque chateau of Troja and the city's leafy zoo. However, the single most important sight in Holešovice is the Trade Fair Palace, which houses the Museum of Modern Art.
