Czechia · Prague · Hradčany
Hradčany is the quarter of Prague Castle and Loreto Square on a high left-bank hill: elite, sparsely populated, and almost entirely protected as a cultural monument.

About the district
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Residential apartments here number in the single digits. Almost everything available is short-stay tourist accommodation. Check the DomCom catalogue for current offers.
Barely — everyday infrastructure is almost non-existent, and you will need to travel to a neighbouring district for every errand. But the experience of living beside the castle is unique.
Take the tram or bus to metro Dejvická (line A), then to Nádraží Veleslavín, and bus 119 — around 30 minutes in total.
