Smíchov, Administrative district on the west bank of Vltava River, Prague, Czech Republic.

Smíchov spans across the left bank of the Vltava River south of Petřín Hill, with two islands, Dětský and Císařská louka, within its boundaries.

The district transformed from a recreational zone of noble families with decorative gardens into a major industrial center during the 19th century industrial revolution.

The French international school, Lycée Français de Prague, operates in Smíchov, contributing to the educational diversity of this Prague district.

The central traffic hub Anděl connects multiple transportation routes and stands next to a modern glass-and-steel structure designed by Jean Nouvel.

The Staropramen brewery maintains its original location in Smíchov, continuing the district's industrial heritage through modern beer production methods.

Location: Prague 5

Shares border with: Old Town, New Town, Malá Strana, Břevnov, Hradčany, Vyšehrad, Podolí, Hlubočepy, Radlice, Košíře, Motol
