Five walks off the beaten path to places known and unknown 1 .eu/walks Contents The best way to discover Vyšehrad Prague is on foot. Czech History Uphill and Downhill 2 and Vršovice La Dolce Vita 10 The truth of this statement is easy to prove. Many of the most interesting sights in the historical centre are really Under Green Arches only accessible by foot – often accompanied by hundreds or The Mutable Charm of Prague’s thousands of other visitors. This is especially true along the Parks and Gardens 18 most popular Prague promenade – the Royal Route, the former The Karlín Story route of coronation processions connecting the Powder Tower, Square, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle. From Rags to Riches 28 From Břevnov to There’s far more to Prague, though, than the Royal Route. Come and The Magic of (Semi) Rural Prague 34 explore it with us, whether you’re in Prague for the first time or the fifth.

Each of these five walks is a little different. The routes are of varying lengths; some are designed as circular, others are linear. We’ll help make the choice of which walk to do a bit easier by giving you a brief summary of each route at the beginning of each chapter – and of course some photos.

All of the walks have the following things in common:

1 Our primary goal is to introduce you to beautiful, interesting places. Each route includes scenic views.

2 The routes avoid busy tourist sites, but sometimes take you to their immediate vicinity.

3 The routes are not necessarily designed to be educational, but rather simply scenic and pleasant. Descriptions of historically interesting sites and buildings are deliberately brief, but if you’re interested in more detailed information about a particular place, we recommend you read more on our website w www.prague.eu.

4 Each route has its own map. In addition to orientation points, interesting places, and scenic views, we’ve also marked spots where you can get something good to eat and drink. A proper walk stimulates the appetite!

a And finally, just one recommendation: be sure to wear good walking shoes and charge your camera or phone before walking out the door. We guarantee you’ll find something picture-worthy along the way. 1

5km

Walk along Uphill and Downhill Folimanka Park and head up to Karlov before relaxing (if you’re so inclined) in the botanical garden at Albertov.

Riegrovy sady/Gardens 7 Vinohrady km This easy walk is ideal for aesthetes and those who enjoy the finer things in life. It leads through an and elegant part of Prague located on hilly terrain east of the historical centre. The area got its name from the vineyards that Emperor Charles IV ordered to be planted here in the 14th century (one of which you will visit). Vršovice Elaborate façades, tree-lined streets, picturesque parks with city views, and an atmosphere reminiscent of Paris make this an area that the cream of Prague society have always favoured. Today, this cosmopolitan district La dolce vita is known not only for its high rents, but also for its top restaurants, wine bars, and cafés. The walk will also explore a small part of Vršovice and Žižkov, two popular districts that share a thriving cultural life and are known for their eclectic mix of pubs, bars, and cultural clubs.

Two buildings worthy of note are the Art Nouveau atelier belonging to sculptor Ladislav Šaloun (creator of the massive Jan Hus sculpture in Old Town Square) and a villa by Jan Kotěra, a noted Czech modernist architect.

The striking building of the 10 Hus Congregational House by Czech architect Pavel Janák entails three parts: a ceremonial hall, an apartment building, and a bell tower. The structure is considered an icon of Czech functionalist architecture.

Built between 1985 and 1992, it’s studded with bizarre giant babies by Czech artist David Černý. In addition to a viewing terrace (highly recommended!), you’ll also find a restaurant and a unique one-room hotel.

The church, whose form evokes Noah’s ark, is one of the most important 20th century religious buildings in Prague. The square is a frequent venue for a popular farmers’ market as well as other culinary and cultural events.

View from the roof of the Vítkov Memorial, with Žižkov to the left, Karlín to the right

5km

An excursion to Karlín is ideal for those who are happy to leave the fairy-tale charm of the historical centre behind and get to know a completely different, constantly changing face of Prague. The route is largely flat, with the exception of the climb to the The Karlín Vítkov Memorial. At the end of the 20th century, Karlín was still a shabby industrial district of no particular interest to visitors. After the catastrophic floods of 2002, Karlín underwent a rebirth. In place Story of damaged buildings, new, ambitious, high-quality structures went up, bringing with them new life. Today, it’s a fashionable (yet not over-gentrified) district with an atmosphere that many say resembles that of Berlin. From Rags to Riches You’ll find wide boulevards, renovated Art Nouveau houses, trendy restaurants and cafés, green parks, and sensitively restored industrial buildings. Looming over Karlín is Vítkov Hill and the Jan Žižka monument, which offers sweeping views of the entire city.

The most famous Czech photographer, Josef Sudek, began his career here. There’s a playground in the park as well as These modern office buildings boast preserved factory exteriors a pétanque pitch. including an imposing chimney; they were originally part of the ČKD factory. Another example of a modern melding of a 19th century industrial building and contemporary architecture is 6 Forum Karlín, a new social and community centre. The project is the work of renowned Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill and includes the historical spaces of a steam boiler factory – today the modern newsroom of a Czech media empire.

This walk is quite undemanding, but offers a surprising variety of terrain and architecture. It’s ideally suited to Strahov for beer-loving history buffs, as it begins and ends at two monasteries where excellent beer been brewed from time immemorial.

This area could be called a “trip to the recent past”: During the 1970s, this neighbourhood of “paneláky” (prefabricated buildings) was built and soon gained the nickname “The Bludgeon,” as many of the units were intended for families of the infamous Ministry of Interior employees. The only remnant of the Old Břevnov village green is a small chapel situated directly in between the apartment buildings.
