Although many places are industrial, there are also some historic homes that have recently been undergoing renovation. There are numerous places to visit in Holešovice. Apart from the biggest parks in Prague, it is also home to two major contemporary art galleries – Veletržní palác and the center of Contemporary Art DOX.

Troja

Troja is a majestic place which offers not only breathtaking scenery but is also filled with many interesting facilities such as the Prague Zoo, which is according to TripAdvisor the fourth best zoo in the whole world. Furthermore, the Botanical Garden of Prague which composes of three pillars (Japanese Garden, greenhouse Fata Morgana, vineyard of St. Claire) and the magnificent baroque Troja Palace. Sports lovers have at their disposal cycling trails, in-line skating trails and cross-country trails along the river. Considering accommodation, you will find that there are very little apartment houses and many family homes and villas. Getting to the city center is much easier by car (10 – 15 minutes) rather than public transport (30 minutes). Overall, Troja is a very pleasant area to live thanks to its beautiful surrounding nature and vineyards.
