Karlín West End

Karlín is known as Prague's first suburb - but what does this designation really mean? This walk explores roughly fifty years crucial to its development: the era when modern urban infrastructure emerged (railways, gas works) and when the foundations of 20th-century economic success were laid.

The route traces the district's industrial growth and, above all, the development of the community living beyond the city walls - Karlín famous for its factories, its embankments serving as a significant port.

The narrative also focuses on specific people: notable Karlín residents whose work influenced not only the city's history but the modern history of the entire country.
