In Vinohrady, Žižkov and Karlín, you’ll find Prague’s trendiest shops and best little restaurants, away from the tourist crowds.
Vinohrady is a stately, sophisticated residential neighbourhood just outside the city centre, known for its excellent restaurants and trendy boutiques. Here you can escape the tourist crowds and will mainly come across locals and expats.
Žižkov has traditionally been a working-class neighbourhood with a somewhat rough-and-ready character. The neighbourhood’s landmark is the 216-metre-high television tower featuring artist David Černy’s giant ‘babies’. The tower, with its observation deck, is a popular night-out destination.
Karlín is also a former working-class neighbourhood. The neighbourhood made a fresh start after the 2002 floods and is now one of Prague’s leading cultural and culinary districts.
