» Park Life Sunny days see crowds of locals out for a stroll in the park. The most
popular spots are Žižkov Hill (locals often refer to it by its old name, Vítkov Hill) and
Parukářka - the latter has a great beer garden.
» Football Supporters of local club FK Viktoria Žižkov ( CLICK HERE ) are even
more passionate than fans of Sparta and Slavia - see a home match for a real Žižkov
experience.
Getting There & Away
» Bus Buses 133 and 175 run from outside Florenc metro station along Husitská at
the foot of Žižkov Hill, useful for the Army Museum and National Monument.
» Metro There are no metro stations in Žižkov itself - the nearest is Jiřího z Poděbrad
on line A, a five-minute walk south from the TV Tower. Line B runs through Karlín.
» Tram Lines 5, 9 and 26 run along Seifertova, in the centre of Žižkov, while lines 8
and 24 run along Sokolovská in Karlín.
Lonely Planet's Top Tip
The viewing platforms in Žižkov's TV Tower stay open till 10pm - skip the day-
time crowds and turn up just in time for sunset to enjoy a really special view of
the city.
