Districts and quarters of Prague

Traditionally Prague consists of 10 districts (mestske obvody). From 2002 in paralel to them 22 administrative parts of Prague exist (spravni obvody).


Not only foreigners, but also the locals often do not understand in district of administrative part a street or house are situated. People are puzzled how a house can stand at the same time in Prague 4 and Prague 12. The list below should help you to make some sense out of this situation.


The main structure off the Capital City consists of "districts" (mestske obvody). "Administrative parts" (spravni obvody) are lower in the hierarchy than the districts. For example the district of Prague 4 encompasses also parts Prague 11 and Prague 12. The district of Prague 5 includes administrative parts Prague 13 and Prague 16. The administrative parts have only some powers, not all like the districts. The Districts and administrative parts cosist of quarters. The quarters do not have any powers, these are just historical names that are used by the Land Register (Cadaster Office) when the right of ownership to the real estate is registered.


So in Prague there are 10 districts that include 22 administrative parts and these in their turn include 110 quarters.
