Holešovice
District in Prague, Czech Republic
About
Holešovice is a district in the north of Prague situated on a meander of the River Vltava, which makes up the main part of the district Prague 7 (an insignificant part belongs to Prague 1). In the past Holešovice was a heavily industrial suburb; today it is home to the main site of the Prague's National Gallery with the Trade Fair Palace (Veletržní palác), and the National Technical Museum.
In 1928, the Libeň Bridge was opened on the site of a wooden temporary bridge from 1903, and is still the longest river bridge in Prague. In 2020, The Guardian named Holešovice as one of the 10 coolest neighborhoods in Europe.
