Zábřeh
A former village on the Odra from which much of Ostrava-Jih’s housing estates grew. Trams run along the main avenues, there are big shopping centres by Rudná street, and the Ostravar Aréna stands in Zábřeh too. It suits anyone who wants shops, sport and the tram close by.
Výškovice
A housing estate from the 1970s and 1980s on the southern edge of Ostrava, right by the Bělský les forest. The tram line ends here, so you ride to the centre from the start of the line. It suits families and anyone who wants woods for walks and runs behind the house.
