Prague 8

Prague 8 is an administrative district in the north of the Czech capital. It spans several neighborhoods, including the core areas of Bohnice, Kobylisy, Čimice, and Karlín, as well as large parts of Libeň and Troja. The district's historical development is closely tied to the city's expansion. While Libeň was already part of Prague in the early twentieth century, Karlín, Bohnice, Troja, and Kobylisy followed in the early 1920s. The district's present-day shape gradually took form after 1949, as further areas such as Čimice, Ďáblice, Dolní Chabry, and Březiněves were incorporated over the following decades.
