MOVING TO PRAGUE: ‘WHICH AREA SHOULD I LIVE IN?’ 🤔

MOVING TO #PRAGUE: ‘WHICH #AREA SHOULD I LIVE IN?’ 🤔 Prague is divided into a number of #districts and numbers 1-10 are those closest to the #city #centre and the #downtown area. They all have their #pros and #cons and in this video I aim to give you a brief overview of each and I invite others to comment below so viewers can get a range of opinions on the wonderfully contrasting options available to you if you are thinking of moving to Prague.

WHICH AREA DO YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF MOST?

[unzicek]

I do agree with your view. I am a local, so my needs are probably slightly different from expats. But I prefer Prague 6 - Bubeneč. It is a quite residential area, with a huge park (Stromovka) and just two metro stations away from the center (10 mins) and within walking distance from the Prague Castle. But it is not much going on here, I would even call it boring, but ... I like boring :D

A decent, to the point, short video. Unlike other you tubers where the author just promotes his/her perceived, self-promoting, and hollow "prettiness", this author actually focusses on the actual content. Good job.

Wearing a weedpecker shirt...subscribed lol

For those coming for the first time, I'd recommend Vinohrady, the part of Žižkov near to Jiriho z Podebrad, Holesovice, Karlin, Bubenec and Smíchov. =)

Prague 4 is really big and it goes from almost city centre to the edge of Prague so it depends.

[europeantravelingwithraj]

No plans to move to Prague, however totally enjoy my trips there, thanks for your videos which have added to the experience, Letna is my favorite and enjoy Andel

I did my Erasmus in Prague. Lived in Vinohrady, just behind Namesti Miru and absolutely loved the area. Would definitely recommend although I hear Airbnb has pushed the rents up a lot recently. Would also recommend Zizkov. Loved going to U Sadu for the comically bad service and great beer....!

You have missed one of the greatest places to stay which is at prague 4 = podoli and location around vysehrad. That place is next to Vltava river, close to Naplavka... just few tram stops from old town. I believe that Podoli is the safest quarter of the city also. Try also to take the bike from vysehrad down south by the river... there is route full of nice places to relax and get some refreshments.

Word Vinohrady means vineyards not vine castle (just a little correction)

Great job! I have lived in Vinohrady, Letna and now 18 years in Bubenec. They are all great. Vinohrady is the most elegant and the most expensive. A few weeks ago I was walking down the main street in the area and there were 4 mattress shops over 3 blocks selling mattresses for $10, 000 apiece! Letna is younger and more hip. Bubenec is the least pretentious. Less elegant facades, but great pubs and parks. All 3 are close enough to the center to walk.

Hi Paul: Nice energetic and enthusiastic video. I have only visited Prague once but would love to go back .I found the people very friendly and warm. Same thing goes for the restaurants I went to. The employees seemed to bend over backwards to make ones experience to be a good one. I also loved the cafes/restaurants where jazz groups played. I don't remember which area I stayed in but I think it was fairly central. However, you mentioned so many neighbourhoods and it would have been helpful if you added a simple diagrammatic map to show the positions within the city. Otherwise, lovely video. D

[donpratt]

Flat out excellent video! Very helpful.

[galll-fc]

thanks :) i'm moving to Prague soon, this helped

[Noamsr]

Great video, I enjoyed it very much and found it really helpful because I'm planning on moving :)

Vinohrady is expensive part for "better" people, if you have money for that, go there, but think abou that, it's noisily and bussy part of Prague. I was living in Vinohrady 1 year on I.P. Pavlova and there is always someone screeming under windows and you can feel metro under building. :-D I would recommend Vršovice (I am borned there) - it's still near to center, but it's district for normal people without all that hipster caffés and restaurants, streets are wide, good for walking and you have park Grébovka (there are vineyards, it's under Vinohrady district). Buildings are mainly from 20s or 30s. Bad thing is there is no metro, but you can get to the center easily by tram.

If you want more hipster looking and more expensive districts, you can choose Holešovice or Karlín, but this districts are completely under water in case of floods.
If you want silent, peace and nature around, you can go to one of the housing estates from communism era (with typical concrete buildings), it maybe doesn't look good, but believe me - life there is much better than in center and it's better for shopping, supermarkets, hypermarkets and big shopping centers are always near. In center you can't just go to nearest supermarket and buy food for week because it's overpriced very often.
PS: Prague 4 is very big district, there are also parts like Braník, Krč etc....it's not only "paneláky". And don't swim in Hostivařská přehrada, it's very dirty.

I love prague 2. I stay across the road from Vinohradský Pavilon all the time. But I love prague 3 as well. Botas 66 is an awesome brand. I've been to Prague 10 out to as far as Skalka Metro station. Its a bit rough so i guess that would Be Affordable to live there. I Love Flora too. Great shopping centre.... Oh and I love Hradcanska too. But I don't know if that's affordable. I'm really surprised how save I've felt walking around Prague in the early morning drunk. Anyways great video. Oh and the other Prague castle's awesome too. Ha ha

[carolinareddy]

That’s encouraging and will definitely explore that strategy 💃🏻 Appreciated 🦋

[catthomas]
