A Walk Through Post-Industrial Holešovice: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Overview

The Czech capital Prague has more to offer than just the old town, castle and Charles Bridge. Former industrial quarters such as Holešovice have been discovered by young people, reverting the long trend of people moving into suburbs. This creates an exciting mixture of industrial heritage and modern ideas. You will see a huge market area in the city's former slaughterhouse, a former multi-story garage and the harbor with new residential buildings. There is a multitude of tiny cafés built into the old brick structures and an art gallery that is famous for its huge “zeppelin” above the roof. We will finish at a club that looks like the setting of a science fiction movie. The VoiceMap mobile app plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS. It also works offline and you can keep it in your pocket while enjoying our walk together. Choose your own pace and feel free to divert into a café at any time during the tour.
