Prague 7 – Holešovice

Go Back

Once a gritty port and industrial zone, Holešovice has emerged as one of Prague’s most dynamic cultural quarters—an ideal choice for art-focused events, international exhibitions, innovation showcases, and lifestyle experiences that benefit from a modern, urban edge. Located on a Vltava river bend just north of the city centre, Prague 7 is where creativity, design, and community intersect.

The district’s anchor venue is the Výstaviště Praha (Prague Exhibition Grounds)—a sprawling complex of Art Nouveau pavilions, open-air arenas, and conference halls. It’s home to international trade fairs, design expos, festivals, and large-format hybrid events, with ample indoor and outdoor space for tailored activations. Nearby, Tipsport Arena offers capacity for sporting events, concerts, and high-energy stage productions.

Holešovice’s DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is a major draw for planners in the cultural and creative sectors. With flexible gallery spaces, rooftop installations, and provocative exhibitions, DOX is ideal for art openings, panel discussions, book launches, and cultural diplomacy events.

The district also boasts industrial-chic coworking spaces, converted warehouses, and riverside cafés—great for start-up events, pop-ups, culinary experiences, and youth-focused programs. Its strong cycling infrastructure and green corridors (like Stromovka Park) allow for wellness add-ons, outdoor sessions, and experiential group activities.

Holešovice has a strong reputation as Prague’s design and maker district, with studios, concept stores, and indie brands offering inspiration for fashion previews, craft fairs, and cross-cultural collaborations. Food markets and nightlife venues like Vnitroblock bring creative communities together in flexible spaces that blur the line between gallery, café, and event hall.

Prague 7 is ideal for arts and innovation events, independent festivals, trade exhibitions, and community-led cultural programs. It offers space to experiment, permission to be bold, and an audience that’s already tuned in—a destination that reflects the future of event culture.
