Vinohrady, Residential district in Prague, Czech Republic
Description
Vinohrady is a residential neighborhood in Prague with imposing buildings from the 19th century featuring decorated facades and large windows. The wide streets and several parks create a generous feel, while the area spans across five administrative districts of the city.
History
The neighborhood began as vineyards planted in 1375 by a Czech ruler. In the late 18th century, the land was transformed into an urban residential area, after which development expanded quickly.
Culture
The neighborhood takes its name from medieval vineyards that shaped the area since the 14th century. This historical connection to wine culture remains visible today in the district's identity and in the names of many streets.
Practical
The neighborhood is easy to reach by metro, with three stations on Line A connecting directly to the city center. The area can be walked through easily, as the streets are well-laid out and the sidewalks are wide.
Did you know?
A large park here offers direct views of Prague Castle and still contains small vineyards where wine is grown for local consumption. These working grape gardens recall the agricultural roots of the neighborhood and are a rare reminder of old Prague.
