Zizkov - Prague 3. Probably the most beautiful part of Prague. It is raw and dirty (the bottom Zizkov) to fancy and yuppie (upper Zizkov bordering with Vinohrady), with lots of cool bars opened till very late. Several parks here, the Zizkov TV tower, the modernist church of The Holiest Heart of the Lord, Bukowski's bar, farmer's market, and a population composed of yuppies and young families & expats (upper zizkov) to artists (recently upper, but leaving) to junkies and more working class (lower Zizkov), and its size make it a pretty vibrant place. Some people are even afraid of it !

Letna - Prague 7. More fancier, “creative industry” part of Prague, with lots of artists living here. The rents are still cheap, but as in the case of upper Zizkov, this area is also being slowly gentrified. Several big parks, sights of the city, the Metronome on the Stalin square, clubs like Neone, alternative cinema Bio Oko, and many bars.

Krymska. In recent years pretty hyped street that started to gather its own public after several bars and caffes opened on it. Its home to Cafe v Lese, Plevel resturant, Zenit bar with bar Sladkowsky behind the corner and many more.

Center - Prague 1. Tourist infested and expensive, however contains also several nice places - the streets in the former jewish ghetto, streets on the “small side” leading up to the castle, bars like Duende, Literarni Kavarna, Vzorkovna.. the Film Academy and Theatre Academy and Music Academy are in Prague 1 too.

Naplavka The right bank of Vltava river between the “Manes building” and the “Palarik square” is a place that is very alive during summer months. Several ad-hoc bars and cafes, food and a zillion of people getting drunk every night. Sometimes a little obnoxious (especially on weekend nights) however its nice to go there for a walk during the day, sit at the river and have a beer. Can be extremely dirty and loud, but also calm, depends when one goes there (and when was the last rain).
