Note: Nusle and Michle are split between several municipal districts, so an address in a listing does not always fall within Prague 4.

Transport - metro C and the coming metro D

  • Rail:Praha-Branik and Praha-Krc stops on the line along the Vltava.
  • Car:direct access to the Southern Connector and the D1 motorway, the reason Pankrac became an office hub.
