Prague
Vinohrady

Prague's most liveable neighbourhood — art nouveau streets, the best restaurant scene, and real local life.
Vinohrady (literally "vineyards") is Prague's most coveted residential district: wide boulevards lined with art nouveau apartment buildings, Riegrovy sady park with its beloved beer garden and castle views, and a restaurant and café density that rivals any neighbourhood in Central Europe. Náměstí Míru and its neo-Gothic church are the centrepiece. It's 15 minutes on the Metro to Old Town — one stop — and the trade-off is entirely worth it for the quality-of-life difference over staying in the tourist core.

What you gain
- ↑The best restaurant scene in Prague: the highest density of quality restaurants, wine bars, and cafés per street in the city — catering to locals, not tourists
- ↑Riegrovy sady beer garden: the most beloved park in Prague — families, students, and professionals with Pilsner Urquell and panoramic views across to the castle
- ↑Art nouveau architecture on every block: Náměstí Míru and Mánesova Street among the most beautiful residential streets in Central Europe
What you sacrifice
- ↓15-20 minutes to Old Town on foot or Metro: not within walking distance of Charles Bridge without effort
- ↓Hotel stock is mainly boutique and guesthouse; no major brands or large properties
- ↓Metro-dependent for sightseeing — the neighbourhood's appeal is in living there, not in proximity to the tourist sights
