Prague: Holesovice: Hlávkův most - Bubenské nábřeží

2 50.10°, 14.44° SE
About location

Tucked along the Vltava in Prague’s Holešovice district, Bubenské nábřeží is a place whose character is shaped by its role as a busy riverside transport corridor. The embankment runs north of the historic centre, where road and tram routes meet the approaches to Hlávkův most. This broad bridge carries traffic across the Vltava by way of Štvanice Island, joining Holešovice with the river’s eastern bank. Built between 1908 and 1912, it is named for the architect and benefactor Josef Hlávka. The island’s greenery and the bridge’s arches bring a counterpoint to the dense streets, rail lines and industrial-era fabric that have long defined this part of Prague.
