Where to stay in Lochotín
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Lochotín gives Pilsen its family day out. Zoo Pilsen and DinoPark Plzeň share this ground, the Rozhledna Sylván stands on the district's list beside them, and a visitor who has booked the zoo for the morning has a real argument for sleeping on this side of the city rather than in the centre. Beds are still thinner here.
The nemocnice Lochotín and the housing around Košutka set the tone, so most rooms will be found back in Plzeň.
