Located in Prague, “Nove Mesto” in Czech language, (translated: New Town) is a busy neighbourhood of Prague, with historical buildings, cafes, shops, open markets, restaurants, and pubs. It is dominated by the so-called “Pavlak” which is the popular nickname for the I.P. Pavlova station (a 3 minutes walk) which connects Karlovo náměstí – and thus also New Town – with Náměstí Míru in Vinohrady. Tramlines cross here with Metro line C, as well as night buses and the expressway bringing cars from the D1 highway directly to the centre.
