Staying in Žižkov
Žižkov spreads across slopes, so two nearby addresses can involve very different walks. Seifertova is a useful transport reference, while streets toward the television tower rise away from it. Check your hotel's exact entrance and the route from your arrival stop. For an evening walk, choose one nearby square rather than crossing the whole district on foot.
