An alternative district, close to the historic center, Žižkov is an interesting alternative for a street art walk.
As often in Prague, the works are by Czech (Obras & Akrobad) and foreign (Dede and Nitzan Mintz) urban artists, but also by academic artists like Patrik Hábl. They can also be the result of urban projects such asVanguard orMuralArt UM, by graffiti Jam. There is a large legal wall but also wild tags.
