In recent decades, Prague 5 has belonged to the most dynamically developing districts in Prague. With the advent of modern times, only a few neighbourhoods have been able to adapt themselves to the new needs of locals, commuters and shop and service operators to the same extent as the Anděl area has managed to. In Smíchov, the old and the new are in a mutually enriching symbiosis. The previously overlooked district, the home of the Staropramen brewery and torn artists, has thus become a sought-after location that offers people a quality life in close contact with the Prague´s downtown. Experience Prague 5, experience Smíchov, experience Ellipsis!
Klamovka, Bertramka or Hřebenka – the Smíchov´s neighbourhoods, in which ambitious inhabitants of Prague have been building their beautiful villas for centuries. And they have always known why. Settle by their side, within sight of the inspiring homes of our famous ancestors, within reach of the Lesser Town (Malá Strana) and the Old Town of Prague.
Would you like a healthy lunch at the Gourmet Pauza, Italian specialties at the authentic WINEFOOD market or creative street food concepts at the Smíchov´s MANIFESTO branch? Anděl and its surroundings have something to offer lovers of quality gastronomy at any time of the day. When you feel like having the best cinnamon snail in town in the morning, don´t forget to stop by the Icelandic Artic Bakehouse. From Ellipsis, you can walk to both its Smíchov branches easily and without much effort.
At the end of the last century, Prague´s Anděl became the natural business and social hub of Prague 5 and of the entire west bank of the Vltava. The U Zlatého anděla house (At the Golden Angel), after which the locality is named, gave way to modern construction in 1990, but after almost two decades, no one will call the surrounding neighbourhood otherwise. From Ellipsis, you can be in restaurants, shops, multiplex cinemas or venues of live culture in five minutes.
Enjoy the unlimited benefits of the adjacent south-facing private park. According to the sources which have come down to the present times, vines have been grown on the site of the facilities, newly built for the rest of our residents, since the 16th century.
If you don´t feel like sitting in your own park at the moment, just a few steps away you will find the entrance to the Kinsky Garden, an extraordinary English-style forest park with an area exceeding 17 hectares. This park connects our neighbourhood with Malá Strana, Hradčany and the centre of Prague 5.
