It suits anyone who wants to live close to the centre but somewhere quieter and greener.
Přívoz
A neighbourhood north of the centre with the main railway station. Its streets form a regular grid lined with apartment houses from around 1900. It suits anyone who travels a lot by train and wants the centre a tram ride away.
