Prague Map

This Prague map (map of Praha for the initiated) should give you a quick overview of the exciting Czech city and its neighborhoods. Prague is big but getting around is easy, thanks to its excellent public transportation. The city is divided into 15 zones (Prague 1, Prague 2, etc.) which at first glance appear to be randomly dispersed. A closer look reveals that they follow a very rough clockwise spiral outward from Prague 1. Many of these numbered zones contain smaller neighborhoods whose names are used more frequently than the neighborhood numbers (Stare Mesto, Mala Strana, Vinohrady, etc).

This is a map of central Prague. It contains most of the city that visitors are likely to see in their first few weeks. Most major tourist attractions are found in Prague 1 and Prague 2 and these same neighborhoods are among the oldest in Prague. The Stare Mesto and Mala Strana neighborhoods (Prague 1), as well as the Vinohrady and Nove Mesto areas (Prague 2), are among the most popular for tourists. These neighborhoods are close to the center and for the most part they avoid the dreary concrete architecture of the recent Communist period.
