Districts of Prague city
Prague's 15 districts:
Prague 1 is the heart of the city, with grand architecture, cobblestone streets – and masses upon masses of tourists. Prague 1 is comprised of three major
districts: Mala Strana (Little Quarter) and Stare Mesto (Old Town) are the historical centres of Prague, and Nove Mesto (New Town, which also spills into
Prague 2) is one of the more commercial centres.
Prague 2: Vinohrady. It’s similar to Prague 1 – an abundance of restaurants, bars, shops and public transportation – only without the masses of
tourists.
Prague 3 contains parts of Vinohrady, but is mostly made up by Zizkov, Vinohrady’s little neighbor. Zizkov has a reputation – deserved or not – as
being one of the ‘rougher’ parts of Prague. Plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, etc., and many typical Czech pubs.
Prague 4 is one of the largest residential areas in Prague, comprised mostly by Czechs. Branik and Podoli are (generally) quiet, safe areas by the Vltava
with rich atmosphere: outdoor pubs, traditional Czech restaurants, small parks, sports venues, and streets lined with trees. Residences are comprised of
houses and apartments, and the area is good for families (and others) who wish to be immersed in the Czech lifestyle.
Prague 5, Smichov, south of Mala Strana, has recently become one of the larger commercial areas in Prague (especially around the metro station
Andel).
Prague 6, Dejvice is similar to Vinohrady – many restaurants, shops and good public transportation. The area is very safe, and some parts can be
cheaper and have a more ‘Czech’ atmosphere than Vinohrady.
Prague 7, Letna is close to the city centre, but much cheaper. Some very nice places can be found by the large park Stromovka, but other areas,
around the streets, may not be so pleasant.
Prague 8 & 9. Karlin, Prague 8, was one of the areas hit hardest by the flood in 2002, and many parts are still being reconstructed. Some areas are
beginning to look nice, but flood damage is still prevalent; otherwise, the area is similar to Zizkov, which it borders, and more artistically oriented.
Prosek, Ladvi, and Letnany, in Prague 9, are quite far from the centre, and currently being developed – a metro line extending into Prague 9 is planned to
open in late 2007.
Prague 10, Vrsovice.
