Vinohrady
Tenement blocks around náměstí Míru and Jiřího z Poděbrad, the Riegrovy sady park and Havlíčkovy sady (Grébovka) on the border with Vršovice. Metro A has two stations right in the neighbourhood, and trams run along Vinohradská and Korunní. Plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops on the ground floors; the big avenues are the busy part.
