Zizkov

Prague is a romantic city, with pretty streets and buildings. Almost like a fairytale.

The houses are colourful, you're surrounded by nature (a park in every district) and the city is filled with trendy cafes to drink a cup of coffee. We decided to move to Zizkov in Prague 3: originally a workers’ district. Because it's uphill, no high-quality architecture houses were build here and the rents became lower. However, you are still close to the city center and the area is quiet: which is the perfect combination.

For the locals, Zizkov is a place to relax without tourists. You will find classic beer pubs and local restaurants.
