Dejvice or Bubeneč?
Two neighbouring parts of Praha 6 with villas, universities and parks. In the numbers they differ more than you might think: noise, shops nearby and the journey to the centre.
Together the two neighbourhoods make up a large part of Praha 6: Dejvice lies around Vítězné náměstí (known as Kulaťák) and the universities, Bubeneč between Letná and Stromovka. Dejvice stretches far to the west, so its average journey to the centre comes out longer than you would expect from a neighbourhood on metro line A.
