Holešovický přístav, Inland port and cultural monument in Holešovice, Czech Republic.
Holešovický přístav is an inland port and cultural monument in the Prague district of Holešovice, extending along the Vltava River. The site includes water basins, dock areas, and direct connections to rail and road networks.
The port was built in two phases between 1892 and 1910 as a protected harbor for Prague's trade. This project marked a turning point in the development of the waterfront and established it as a key commercial hub.
The Art Nouveau buildings show how Prague's industrial waterfront developed in the early 1900s and shaped the neighborhood. Walking through, you notice how these structures defined the character of the area and made it a vital part of the city.
The port is best reached on foot or by public transport, as it connects directly to the city center. Wear comfortable shoes since the waterfront is expansive and offers plenty of space to explore.
The port still functions as an active shipping facility, not merely a museum, with boats loading and unloading goods. This makes it a rare example of a cultural monument that continues to serve its original economic purpose.
