Some may not know that for a while between the years 1902 and 1921, Vysočany was an independent town. Now, this cadastral area belongs to the Prague 9 city section, with only a small part belonging to the Prague 3 district. Have you had a chance to discover its beauty?

Vysočany

This city section has a remarkable history which dates back to the 13th Century, when the first written mention of Vysočany appears. Since then, much water has flowed, many people have been born, and human society experience so much. Today, we can see Vysočany as a luxurious looking and fully flourishing Prague district.

What belongs to Vysočany

Everybody knows their city like their own shoes. But does this apply to those who live in a thriving metropolis? As a reminder, Vysočany includes the residential area around Sokolovská Street, the pilgrimage route between Prosek and Kbely, the industrial and administrative zone around K Žižkovu and Pod Šancemi streets. There are echoes of the industry of past (from several ČKD factories), but since the 1990s development has taken a different direction.

Living in Vysočany is a win

The Rokytka creek flows through Vysočany, so there is no lack of greenery. Middle-aged and young generations are welcomed by luxurious residential projects, which are being built on the site of former factories, and are called Nové Vysočany (although the “old-timers” don’t really like it; after all, they already have a Nové Vysočany). In short, everything is moving and changing.

The heart of Vysočany

It has always been the case that the square centralised life in the village, and nowadays perhaps even in the city. The town hall from the middle of the last century, a beautiful and luxurious building, stands near Náměstí OSN (UN Square). Other historical buildings worth mentioning are the railway station, active since 1872 and considerably modernised. Another luxurious looking building is the Dlabač Villa designed by the Stuchlíks in Prague baroque style.

Even this Prague location has plenty to offer, with fully developed infrastructure, traffic accessibility, luxurious housing and peaceful living.

Palmovka is part of Libeň and many people regard it just as an unsightly intersection. On the other hand, it is one of the most important traffic nodes. And it seems that the importance of this place will keep growing.

Future picture of Libeň?

The Libeň bridge leads from here, representing a connection with Holešovice. From Palmovka you can get through Krejcárek to Žižkov and there is a luxury connection also with Karlín, the rest of Libeň and then toward Vysočany.

Although this intersection does not probably inspire anyone´s feeling that it is an exceptional part of Prague, which people looking for housing would fight for, it has a potential that is not negligible.

What can Palmovka offer?

It is not just a luxurious location close to interesting and lively parts of Prague, such as Holešovice and Karlín, but also a simple and fast connection with the historical centre of Prague and also with its suburbs.

As is well known, everything is changing. Can you for example recall what did Karlin look like ten years ago? A district, where you would hardly have enjoyed a romantic evening walk, now attracts Prague city dwellers to luxurious restaurants, stylish wine bars, state of the art cafés, cultural events or outdoor festivals. The same may happen to Palmovka, too. This is because the city authorities have great plans!

In a couple of years Palmovka may be unrecognisably transformed!

Simply imagine Palmovka in several years. How could it look like? The unsightly intersections could be transformed to a representative square, a new town hall could grow here, as well as luxurious well-maintained parks. New office buildings and apartments would attract new residents and with them new and better services.

An interesting dream, isn´t it? But perhaps it is not just a dream, because exactly that is in the pipeline; some changes could be seen as early as this year, in the form of new benches and litter boxes. Luxury is a result of a gradual process!
