Jatka 78

Top choice in Prague


This alternative art space, housed in a former slaughterhouse in Holešovice Market, stages performances from dance to circus and acrobatics. Many shows are kid-friendly. It's worth grabbing a bite at the bistro before or after – the meals, including sandwiches and pasta, and reasonably priced, and there's a family play area, too.
