This lively street located in the city center is filled with pubs, cafes, restaurants and discothèques.
We wanted to celebrate new year at Stodolná street and it was amazing. We were in several pubs where were so many people. When midnight came everyone went to the street and they celebrated new year. For those who did not visit Stodolní street is new year celebration the right one.
