Hi there, For what it's worth, I was there for only 3 weeks recently and there is a brand new large shopping complex that just opened in March. I am sorry that I don't know the street it is on but it is probably the next stop after Luziny, maybe Hurka(?). I had walked there from where I stayed (near the Luziny stop) but it is a bit of a hike. It has a large cinema complex and an aqaurium, numerous shops and restaurants and a Hyper-market type of store, (forget the name, again). All in all, I thought it was a convenient area to be in, close enough by train to the center but far enough away to not have the higher prices of the touristy areas. Sorry I cannot comment on the night life much. My friend and I didn't do much of that and not in that area. If I can find some more specifics on the info. above I will post that. Hope that you enjoy your stay there. I would stay there again. Good luck
Hi anu! I haven't live in Prague 5, but it's definitely one of my favourite areas in Prague. Big part of it is very beautiful. I think there's no need to worry about pubs or restaurants - you can find those all over the Prague. And I believe you can go to the cinema or shopping center also elswhere. But as I can see, you got such information already from chechofil .
thanks a lot, cechofil and geleen! i'm not yet there, cechofil, i'm going to prague only in june, there are flats to rent in this district, that's why i was asking. it looks like it could be very nice to live there... we'll see :lol:
The new mall where there is an aquarium is called GalerieButovice. It's very close to the NoveButovice station. Must be near the next stop Hurka as well (all along yellow line).
