Climb into Žižkov, Prague's rowdy, bohemian hillside district beneath the quirky Television Tower. Explore its steep streets, then settle into a packed local pub as the evening gets going.
Full description
Žižkov is a working-class district on a hillside east of the centre, long associated with an irreverent, bohemian character. The Žižkov Television Tower dominates the skyline, with its distinctive sculpted crawling figures on the shaft, while the streets below hold one of the city's highest concentrations of pubs and bars per head.
Steep lanes, older apartment blocks and the hilltop Vítkov area give it a rugged feel quite different from the polished centre. It comes into its own in the evening, when local pubs and late-night venues fill up with residents rather than tourists.
