About the district

What to know before renting or buying

01

Infrastructure

Infrastructure is minimal: a few tourist cafés, souvenir shops near Prague Castle, and the Strahov Monastery with its brewery. The nearest full-service shops and pharmacies are in Dejvice (Praha 6), 10 minutes by tram.

02

Transport

Metro line A: station Hradčanská at the foot of the hill. Tram 22 passes through Pohořelec and links Hradčany with Malostranská and the centre. The steep pedestrian climb from Malostranské náměstí takes about 15 minutes.

03

Housing and prices

Residential apartments are extremely rare: most historic buildings belong to the state, embassies, or are used as museums. The few private apartments are priced similarly to Old Town — this is the most scarce residential stock in Prague.

04

Schools and kindergartens

There are no schools or kindergartens in Hradčany itself. The nearest are in Praha 6 (Dejvice), where the Czech Technical University and several international schools are located.

05

Safety and atmosphere

The district is guarded by police and the presidential guard around the clock. One of the safest corners of Prague, quiet in the evening hours. Tourist traffic is high during the day but drops off almost entirely by night.
