Cross the Vltava to Smíchov, a former industrial quarter that now feels like Prague at its most everyday. Wander from the Anděl hub to side-street cafés and the riverfront, soaking up the local rhythm away from the Old Town crowds.
Full description
Smíchov sits across the river from the Old Town and has shifted from factory district to one of Prague's more everyday, lived-in quarters. Modern developments around Anděl sit alongside older residential streets, brewery heritage and riverside promenades.
The mood is relaxed and local rather than touristy, with independent cafés, casual restaurants and small galleries mixed in with larger retail. It suits a wander of about an hour or more, working from the busy transport hub toward the quieter side streets and the water.
