Zizkov

Žižkov is one of Prague's most characterful districts, east of the centre. It is known for its independent spirit, countless pubs and lively nightlife.

The district's most recognisable landmark is the Žižkov Television Tower, which offers a view over the whole city. Nearby stands Vítkov hill with its monumental statue of Jan Žižka.

The district has kept its working-class character and is still regarded as one of the most authentic places in Prague.

Satori Cities

On a Satori Cities walk, Zizkov is not treated as a box to tick. It is a place to notice daily streets, thresholds, and the city at walking speed, to slow the body down, and to receive the historical context only after perception has done its work.
