Žižkov

Think of the "Free Republic of Žižkov." This is Prague's rebellious heart. It started as a 19th-century district for factory workers. Now you'll find steep cobblestone streets and tall tenement houses. Gentrification is hitting some corners. But the area keeps its grit. It stands apart from the polished Old Town. You are east of the center in Prague 3. It's hilly. Wear good shoes. You'll get views of the skyline from the parks. Backpackers love it here. So do beer fans. It has more pubs per square kilometer than anywhere else in Europe. Come for the cheap food. Stay for the local life.
