Greater Prague
P
RAGUE'S CITY CENTRE CAN KEEP MOST VISITORS
occupied for days, but
if you're staying outside the city's heart, or if you have the time to
explore beyond the capital's walls, the outlying areas offer plenty of
surprises. Over the centuries, Prague's various rulers have used the
surrounding countryside as their personal
playground, building impressive castles,
palaces and parks to which they could
escape the often claustrophobic streets and
winding alleyways of the city. Even the
Communists have left their own kind of
functional mark on the area, with somewhat
ugly but useful towers and exhibition spaces.
From the peaceful parklands of Vy
√
ehrad or
the social atmosphere of Letná, to the rowdy
nightlife of
Δ
i
≈
kov, to the intriguing gardens
of Hole
√
ovice and Troja, Greater Prague has
a diversity that will fulfil almost any
requirements you might have.
