Vinohrady Neighbourhood
A leafy, elegant residential district of Art Nouveau apartment blocks, tree-lined parks, cafés and the striking Sacred Heart church.
The call
Worth it if you're watching the budget and you only have one day.
Short answer
Is Vinohrady Neighbourhood worth it?
Vinohrady Neighbourhood deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
Where well-heeled Praguers and expats actually live — handsome streets, Riegrovy sady park with a beer garden and skyline view, good cafés and Plečnik's modernist church on Náměstí Míru.
- 02
The catch: there are almost no 'attractions' to tick off, so it underwhelms checklist travellers; its reward is simply being somewhere real and pleasant.
