Prague 2, formally thePrague 2 Municipal District (Městská čast Praha 2), is asecond-tier municipality inPrague. It is co-extensive with the national administrative district (správní obvod) of the same name.
As of the end of 2004, 48,918 people lived in 34,689 homes in the district. At 4.19 km2 (1,035acres), Prague 2 is the smallest administrative district in the country.
The district includes all ofVyšehrad and parts ofVinohrady,New Town andNusle. The district has remained intact since its creation in 1960.
Vyšehrad contains the Czech national cemetery and the ruins of amedieval fortress. It is considered the area of the historic establishment of the Czech rulers.
The historical center of Vinohrady also falls under the jurisdiction of Prague 2. Important sights includeRiegrovy sady [cs], one of the most famous Prague parks. The grand central plaza of Vinohrady is Náměstí Míru with the Vinohrady Theatre, the National House of Vinohrady and the main Prague 2 municipal building.
New Town is less a residential but a business area and known for theI.P. Pavlova station (locally known as "Pavlák") which connects Karlovo náměstí – and thus also New Town – with Náměstí Míru in Vinohrady. Tramlines cross here withMetro line C, as well as night buses and the main road bringing cars from the D1 highway directly to the centre and through to Holešovice in the north of the city. Important sites includeCharles Square, the biggest square in Prague and also among the biggest squares in Europe - with the New City Hall /Gothic town hall, Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the Botanical Gardens and severalCharles University buildings in Albertov, as well as the Baroque Villa America.
