Prague-West District, Administrative district in Central Bohemian Region, Czech Republic.

The district forms a half-moon shape around Prague, featuring diverse landscapes from flat northern areas to southern hills reaching 458 meters at Lípový vrch.

Established on April 11, 1960, the district includes significant archaeological sites like the Celtic oppidum Závist and the medieval Levý Hradec fortification.

The district maintains 79 municipalities with distinct local traditions, including towns like Jesenice, Černošice, and Dobřichovice, each preserving their Czech heritage through festivals.

Major motorways D4, D5, D6, and D7 connect the district to Prague, while Amazon Logistic in Dobrovíz and Schenker in Nučice provide employment opportunities.

Průhonice Castle Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, presents exceptional landscape architecture within the district boundaries.
