Where to look in Prague 3

The district is small but internally divided. The streets below Vitkov, the ridge around Parukarka and the Vinohrady end near Jiriho z Podebrad differ in rent and in who lives there.

Transport and daily life

  • Metro A:Flora, Jiriho z Podebrad and Zelivskeho - three stations in one small district, with Muzeum minutes away.
  • Trams:a dense network across Zizkov, linking the main station, Karlin and Vinohrady.
  • Parks:Parukarka with its view over the city, Riegrovy sady on the Vinohrady boundary and Vitkov hill above Karlin.
  • Parking:the district's weakest point. Streets are narrow, zones are paid and spaces scarce - if you drive, settle this before the lease.
  • Nightlife:Zizkov is thick with bars. An advantage for some, and for others a reason to pick a flat facing the courtyard.

What to check in the lease

  1. Term.Fixed or open-ended, and renewal terms.
  2. Deposit.Amount and the conditions for return.
  3. Service advances.Heating in older buildings can cost more - ask for the actual figure.
  4. Which way the flat faces.In dense streets it matters whether windows face the road or the courtyard, for noise and for light.
  5. Handover protocol.Meter readings, keys and photos of the condition.
