Choose a holiday apartment in Prague SmichovThe Smichov district of Prague has enjoyed a renaissance that has been likened to the metamorphosis of ugly duckling to swan. This once heavily industrial area of the Czech Republic's capital is now a vibrant residential, entertainment and business center that seamlessly harmonizes the most charming aspects of old and new. Visitors looking for holiday apartments in Prague find that Smichov apartments offer an ideal location at surprisingly reasonable rates.Smichov's HistoryOnce an agricultural area, Smichov was rapidly developed in the mid-1800s upon establishment of the railroad system. Heavy industries dominated Smichov, including the vast Ringhoffer factory, which manufactured railway carriages and employed over 30,000 workers. The industrial base continued to expand until the 1980s, when an ambitious civic revitalization project transformed the once gritty urban area to its current cygnine beauty. Local Attractions Built in 1831, the Kinsky Summer Palace is a must-visit museum celebrating the traditions and customs of the Czech people. A variety of special events take place in the magnificent neoclassic building and surrounding gardens throughout the year. Also not to be missed is Novy Smichov, a massive new shopping and entertainment complex erected where the Ringhoffer factory once stood. Devotees of the performing arts should include Svandovo Theatre on their itineraries, where they can see traditional and experimental plays performed with English subtitles. During the summer months, visitors will appreciate the white sands of Smichov Beach on the Vltava River. Dining and Nightlife Cafes, restaurants and nightspots abound in this lively part of Prague. Visitors will want to sample the piquant "beer cheese" and garlic soup at Potrefena Husa Na Verandach inside the historic Staropramen Brewery for a true taste of local cuisine. Futurum Music Bar is just one of the thriving nightclubs in Smichov, where DJs, dancing and live entertainment continue through the night. Smichov Accommodation When it comes to accommodation, many savvy tourists find that Smichov apartments give them exposure to genuine Czech hospitality without compromising on any amenities. Smichov apartments can be found in meticulously restored old buildings and in fashionable ultra-modern structures, and offer holiday visitors a comfortable, budget-friendly way to experience the excitement of Prague. |
