On this sunny day, we're taking our walking tour through the Smíchov district of Prague streets, and we'll walk from Anděl to the Vltava!
Smíchov is a district of Prague (since 1909), the capital of the Czech Republic, and is part of Prague 5. It is on the west bank of the Vltava river.

Anděl is a neighborhood in Prague 5's central district of Smíchov, centered on a busy interchange. The name means 'angel' in Czech and originates from the 19th century U zlatého anděla (Golden Angel) pub, initially after a fresco in the gable depicting an angel. The painting of an angel was preserved after its demolition and is now displayed nearby the metro station entrance.
Anděl is a vital traffic center. Prague Metro's Line B runs beneath it, Anděl Station serves the area. Tramway lines cross north-south and east-west directions (4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, and 20). Otherwise, it is a pedestrian zone.
After redevelopment in the late 1990s, when French architect Jean Nouvel designed an office building called Golden Angel (Zlatý Anděl) above the Metro station with a picture of an angel from the movie Wings of Desire and quotes from Rilke on its facade, Anděl became one of the busiest parts of the city, with many offices of national and international companies. Across it (in the northwest quadrant), one of Prague's most extensive shopping malls, Nový Smíchov, can be found, including multiplex cinema Cinema City; another multiplex, Cinestar (former Village Cinemas), is nearby in the Anděl City complex. Smíchov Synagogue is also in the area.
