SO-HO - PRAGUE 7, HOLEŠOVICE

Whenever you are free for a while, don´t forget to visit DOX – Centre for Contemporary Art, which is located just a few minutes´ walk from SO-HO, the centre of contemporary housing, emerging in Holešovice.

Do you like it hot or sweet? Or something in between? The range of tastes knows no bounds, as does the array of local bistros, cafés, street food joints and selected restaurants. Whether you fancy anything, e.g. what you want to cook for yourself... visit, for instance, Holešovická tržnice (Holešovice Market), where you will find everything from SaSaZu and Asian fusion to fresh zucchini for your frying pan.

According to the latest information, the construction of the HolKa footbridge between Holešovice and Karlín will begin as early as in the autumn of 2021. The completion is scheduled for the end of 2022. The HolKa footbridge will connect Prague 7 and Prague 8, and thus not only enable beautiful walks in the surrounding area, but also shorten the way to work, friends, entertainment, or shopping for a lot of people.

150 metres along Dělnická Street, the second right to Komunardů Street, a few more metres – and stop at the ivy-covered door. Here, you will find the entrance to the La Fabrika cultural space, valued for its creativity and contemporary art programme. Among the actors of La Fabrika, we can mention Tatiana Vilhelmová, Anna Polívková, Martha Issová, Vojtěch Dyk, Jakub Prachař or various creative ensembles.

Take a walk through Holešovice and draw positive energy not only from the ubiquitous greenery, from the river and life, but also from the street art that will appeal to you or inspire you. Here: Komunardů Street, author: Michal Škapa aka Tron.

Unlike Letná, the eastern part of Holešovice is largely surrounded by the River Vltava. Here, you will find a harbour, quiet and romantic bays of local docks or wild water on the other side of the river, where you can meet Czech national canoeists too. Thanks to the anti-flood system, which is also built for millennial water, you don´t have to worry. Enjoy the Vltava and its atmosphere.

There are few places in the whole of Prague that inspire people with their freedom, independence, and atmosphere to such an extent as the creative and free-thinking CrossCafe or alternative Vnitroblock (“Vnitroblok” means “Courtyard” in English), full of interesting nooks and bistros offering you a sit-down meal or drink alone or with your friends, rich in cultural experiences... This is a place of moments lived to the full where time has stopped, and you are enjoying it.

As our mothers used to say, the way to a man´s heart is through his stomach. However, we know that you can´t do without health either, and health has a lot to do with the stomach and food. You can buy the healthiest foodstuffs not only at the local butcher´s and groceries but also at the Holešovická tržnice (Holešovice Market), where farmers´ markets are held.

The SO-HO Rezidence Holešovice is coming with start-up apartments for singles or young families and larger family apartments for those who want to live in a place with a character. With its concept of urban regeneration, SO-HO offers apartments created on the industrial basis of the former Tesla factory and in a new building that ends the urban block with a quiet green atrium, being so typical of Holešovice.
