Prague 3

It is geographically identical to the national administrative district (správní obvod) and city administrative district (městský obvod) of the same name.

The district includes most of the cadastral area of Žižkov and parts of Vinohrady, Vysočany and Strašnice.

The western part of Žižkov is known for its high concentration of brothels, strip clubs and cheap bars.

A New Jewish Cemetery nearby, one of two historic Jewish burial places in the district, contains the grave of Bohemian-German writer Franz Kafka.
