While the focus remains in the centre of the city,
Vršovice is a quiet escape from the tourist hubbub of Prague. Formerly industrial, it now is an affordable suburb close to everything for quiet enough to relax in. Expect to see new moms pushing babies in prams, energetic toddlers running for their lives and multitudes of cute doggies on their daily walk through the hood.
Like the run? You're in good company since traffic is pretty chill and the views peaceful. Plenty of stairs and small hills offer a challenge. You're bound to see a runner every 5 minutes sweating it out on the groomed trails.
Within walking distance of Vyšehrad castle and 20 minutes from Prague 1, Vršovice has all the delights of a small European living. You could easily mistake it for a quiet village outside the city. All major transit, metro, tram, bus are accessed in minutes. So get out of town and have a picnic in one of the prettiest spots on Prague and the world. Just chill here.
