Prague 3

Prague 3 is an administrative district in eastern Prague comprising the neighborhoods of Žižkov, Vinohrady, Visočany, and Strašnice. The area consists mainly of residential blocks, local shops, parks, and community facilities spread across its several neighborhoods.

The district took on its current administrative form in 1990 following a major reorganization of Prague's municipal divisions. This restructuring occurred after the major political changes that reshaped the Czech Republic during that period.

The district features art galleries, independent cinemas, and music venues where contemporary and traditional works are displayed. Walking through its neighborhoods, you notice how locals use these spaces to experience both Czech and international art regularly.

The district has an extensive network of trams and buses connecting all parts of the area to Prague's center and other districts. Getting around by public transport or on foot is straightforward between neighborhoods.

The district is known for its distinctive tram network that runs through the area as part of Prague's long-established transport system. These trams have operated for more than a century and shape the daily character of the neighborhoods.
