Karlín

The neighborhood extends between the Vltava River and Vitkov Hill, featuring a combination of residential buildings, office spaces, and recreational areas.

Originally established in 1817 as an independent town named after Caroline Augusta of Bavaria, Karlin merged with Prague in 1922 through administrative reform.

The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius stands as a central religious monument, while numerous galleries and theaters contribute to the local arts scene.

The district connects to central Prague through Krizikova metro station, multiple tram lines, and a network of cycling paths along the riverbank.

Following the floods of 2002, this former industrial zone transformed into a modern business district with renovated 19th-century buildings and contemporary architecture.
