'''Prague 3''' (formally the ''Prague 3 Municipal District'', {{langx|cs|Městská část Praha 3}}), is a [second-tier municipality](/source/Prague_districts) in [Prague](/source/Prague). It is geographically identical to the national administrative district (''správní obvod'') and [city administrative district](/source/Boroughs_in_the_Czech_Republic) (''městský obvod'') of the same name.
The district includes most of the [cadastral area](/source/Prague_districts) of [Žižkov](/source/%C5%BDi%C5%BEkov) and parts of [Vinohrady](/source/Vinohrady), [Vysočany](/source/Vyso%C4%8Dany) and [Strašnice](/source/Stra%C5%A1nice). The district area has remained intact since its creation in 1960.
Like many districts of the city, Prague 3 is socioeconomically diverse. The western part of Žižkov is known for its high concentration of [brothel](/source/brothel)s, strip clubs and cheap bars.[{{cite web|title=Bars in Žižkov|url=http://praguebars.blogspot.cz/|access-date=27 April 2014}}] Yet only a short distance away are nice apartments and a new [shopping mall](/source/shopping_mall) with expensive stores.{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}
Two of Prague's most-visible landmarks are in Prague 3: the [National Monument](/source/National_Monument_at_V%C3%ADtkov) on the [Vítkov](/source/V%C3%ADtkov_(hill)) hill, with its giant equestrian statue of [Jan Žižka](/source/Jan_%C5%BDi%C5%BEka); and the 216 metre-high [Žižkov Tower](/source/%C5%BDi%C5%BEkov_Tower), Prague's tallest structure. The large [Olšany Cemetery](/source/Ol%C5%A1any_Cemetery) take up much of the district. A [New Jewish Cemetery](/source/New_Jewish_Cemetery%2C_Prague) nearby, one of two historic Jewish burial places in the district, contains the grave of [Bohemia](/source/Bohemia)n-[German](/source/German_people) writer [Franz Kafka](/source/Franz_Kafka).
