About the district
The neighbourhood is densely packed with cultural venues: the Prague Jewish Museum, Rudolfinum, Municipal House, and numerous galleries and theatres. Restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, and grocery shops are found at every turn, though their prices are geared primarily towards tourists.
Metro line A (green): stations Staroměstská and Můstek are both within walking distance of the district centre. Several tram routes (17, 18) skirt the Old Town along the Vltava embankment. Wenceslas Square is a 5-minute walk away.
The residential stock is extremely limited: mainly 16th–19th century historic buildings with converted apartments. This is the most expensive segment of Prague real estate — purchase prices reach 200,000–437,000 CZK per sq m, and rents are also significantly above the city average. Apartments here are frequently let on a short-stay basis.
There are few private or state schools in Old Town itself, as the district is primarily commercial and tourist-oriented. The nearest educational institutions are in neighbouring Praha 2 and Praha 3, a few minutes away by tram.
The district is very lively and well-lit around the clock. Street crime is low, but pickpocketing is common in tourist crowds — standard urban vigilance is advised. Police patrol the square regularly.
