- Church of St Ludmila - Constructed at the close of the 19th century, this grand Neo-Gothic church became a spiritual and social icon of the rapidly expanding Vinohrady district. Its elaborate decoration showcases the aspirations of a confident middle class and includes works by some of the foremost Czech artists of the era. Beyond being a place of worship, it signified Vinohrady’s emergence as a prestigious and self-assured urban neighborhood.
- Na Vinohradech Theater - Established around 1900, Divadlo na Vinohradech is housed in a splendid Neo-Renaissance building and has been one of Prague’s premier drama theatres from its inception to the present day.
- Namesti Miru - Náměstí Míru (Peace Square; named so since 1948) serves as the main square of the Vinohrady district, which was once a town. It is encircled by architecturally and socially significant buildings, including the National House at Vinohrady, Divadlo na Vinohradech, and the Basilica of St. Ludmila. The square is closely tied to Prague’s tram history, with tram services operating here since 1897.
- Vinohradská - Vinohradská Avenue is the district’s main street and one of Prague’s key traffic arteries, stretching eastward for several kilometers, changing names, and connecting the city’s western districts. In its initial sections, nearly every building is an architectural landmark of Neo-Renaissance or Modernism, and the avenue hosts numerous official and socially significant institutions, most notably the Czech Radio. The radio building was, among other events in its long history, a center of resistance during the 1968 invasion.
- Italská - Italská (Italian) Street, unlike Vinohradská Avenue, is a typical residential side street in Vinohrady. It offers a concentrated display of Neo-Renaissance architecture, where façades were designed to convey status, taste, and individuality. Intricate balconies, grand portals, and expressive mascarons create a continuous visual narrative carved in stone.
- Riegrovy sady - Riegrovy sady is a vast park that developed as a city park alongside the entire Vinohrady district at the start of the 20th century. From its inception, it became a favored promenade for the upper middle class residing in Vinohrady. Today, it is a place where people exercise on the lawns, groups gather on benches or blankets, musicians perform for passers-by, and locals walk their dogs. A wide view over the city draws people here to watch the sunset. In summer, the park hosts a large and lively beer garden.
- Kostel Nejsvetejsiho Srdce Pane - The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord is a monumental landmark in Prague. Completed in 1932 to commemorate the millennium of the first Czech saint and patron, St. Wenceslas, it is an architectural masterpiece that is difficult to parallel or attribute to any specific style.
- Bratří Čapků - Čapek Brothers Gardens is a small green space in the tranquil heart of Vinohrady. It is named after the brothers Karel Čapek and Josef Čapek, influential Czech intellectuals of the early 20th century. Though hidden from the city’s hustle, the park is bordered by several architecturally interesting buildings. It marks the beginning of the villa quarter of Vinohrady, with nearby villas built for prominent figures of the early 20th century, notable for both their architecture and the stories of their owners. Nearby stand the Hussite Church (Congregational House) in the Constructivist style and the former Vinohrady Water Tower, another example of civic architecture closely connected with the development of Prague in the late 19th century.
- Havlicek Park - Grébovka, also known as Havlíček park, is a spacious park laid out on the slopes descending toward the Botič stream. It was created as a romantic countryside park around the villa of the industrialist Moritz Gröbe. The park still contains a vineyard reflecting the area’s historical name, Vinohrady (“vineyards”), with its own wine production, as well as characteristic features of a romantic park such as a grotto, a lake, and a waterfall. Today, it remains one of the most popular parks among Prague residents.

While many Prague tours highlight the Old Town, Prague Castle, and occasionally Vyšehrad, along with the legendary early chapters of Czech history, this tour delves into a district that developed in the late 19th century. This period marked Prague’s emergence as an industrial and commercial hub of Austro-Hungary and simultaneously as a center of the Czech patriotic movement. The district’s architecture vividly showcases Neo-Renaissance and Modernist styles, reflecting Prague’s tumultuous 20th-century history, from the 1918 declaration of independent Czechoslovakia to the 1989 fall of communism. Today, it is a fashionable area blending local and international influences.
