Staying in Holešovice and Letná

Treat Letná and lower Holešovice as separate starting points when comparing hotels. Letná sits above the river, while addresses near Veletržní palác or Ortenovo náměstí have different walking routes. The hill matters more than the district name. Match your accommodation to the park, gallery or transport stop you expect to use most often during your stay.
