This 2.5-hour alternative walking tour explores the Holešovice neighborhood in Prague, led by a professional licensed local guide. The tour starts at Palladium, where the guide introduces recent Czech history and explains why locals refer to the city’s historic center as “Disneyland.” The group then visits the Prague Center for Contemporary Art, an independent venue offering exhibitions, workshops, and discussions on current social and cultural topics. Next, participants see a mural dedicated to Milada Horáková, a Czech political prisoner. The walk continues to Kostel sv. Antonina z Padovy, where the guide discusses atheism in the Czech Republic and the status of the LGBT+ community. The tour proceeds to VNITROBLOCK, a former factory transformed into a creative hub for artists and designers. Afterward, the group explores Prazska Trznice, a lively area with local food, crafts, galleries, and theaters along Bubenské nábřeží. Participants also visit a graffiti-covered skatepark known mainly to locals and view large murals created by international street artists. The tour finishes at Cross Club, a legendary underground techno and community venue constructed from recycled vehicles and industrial parts. The guide provides useful local tips and photo opportunities throughout the walk. Public transport tickets and gratuities are not included. Participants should arrive 10 minutes early if they need to purchase transport tickets on-site or via the PID Lítačka app. The tour runs rain or shine, so appropriate clothing and water are recommended.
