Watch out for

• The metro terminus is convenient, but the station is about a kilometer south of the main Letňany built-up area, so check the exact walk from your accommodation.
• The area is on Prague’s northeastern edge and includes large event/retail facilities, so some parts feel more utilitarian than charming.
• Near PVA Expo and the shopping center, traffic and event crowds can make some streets busier at peak times.
