Zátiší in Hodkovičky is one of Prague’s lesser-known but exceptionally interesting villa districts. In this wooded valley above the Vltava River, summer residences for Prague businesspeople, artists, and intellectuals began to spring up in the late 19th century, gradually transforming the area into a prestigious residential neighborhood.

During our walk, we’ll explore remarkable buildings such as the Neo-Renaissance villa Lalotta, the Rondocubist villa of Antonín Hořovský designed by Pavel Janák, and a functionalist villa inspired by nautical style.

We’ll also revisit the unique Rückl Solar Baths, the former Jiroušek Hotel, and the stories of the notable figures who lived and worked here—from Castle Chancellor Přemysl Šámal and his family, to sculptor Marie Uchytilová and architect Ladislav Žák, all the way to a Beat poet.

The walking tour will present Zátiší as a place where architecture, art, business, and modern Czech history intertwine, and will show why this exceptional neighborhood has retained its unique character to this day.
