Prague

Prague is my home away from home. I fell in love with the beauty of the city the very first time I was there. I've been in Prague a bunch of times since I was 10 and each time the city became more and more a part of me. The time I lived in Prague (2006) was the best period of my life. It's a beautiful city, with an amazing culture and history, lovely people and great food. There is so much to see, so much to experience; it really is a shame most tourists don't venture outside New and Old Town.

Tourist Prague in Pictures and Stories

Since 1990, the city has been divided into 56 (since 1992, 57) self-governing municipal districts (Czech: městské části). Since 2001, the 57 municipal districts have been grouped into 22 numbered administrative districts. From 1960 to 1990, Prague was divided into 10 districts. Those 10 districts are still used for addressing (ie. I lived in Praha 7) and transportation purposes and, for example, the organisation of courts and prosecutions. Street signs additionally add the name of the cadastral area which usually reflects the name of an old municipality before its assimilation into the city of Prague. Thus, a sign in Kbely will say 'Praha 9-Kbely', not 'Praha 19'. Prague residents are much more likely to use the name of a cadastral area or a 1960 municipal district than the name of a post-1990 district in everyday communication.
