Новый и престижный район Баррандов (Barrandov), Прага-5, расположен на юге Праги на левом берегу Влтавы и он условно делится на две противоположно разные части – старый Баррандов, который построился вокруг одноименной киностудии и состоит в основном из респектабельных вилл и сидлиште Баррандов – то есть новый спальный район. Сам район – очень чиcтый, ухоженный, и зеленый. Здесь очень тихо и уютно.

Barrandov originated as a film producing borough. The film studios, which are active even today, were soon surrounded by many beautiful villas of the First Republic and consequently a small garden town developed. This part of Barrandov is till today considered to be a “good address" in Prague. Most important landmarks besides the Barrandov Film Studios are the Barrandov Terraces (Barrandovské Terasy), a former functional luxury restaurant with a splendid view on Vltava river. New Barrandov is noted for its unique tram stations. The Hlubočepy-Sídliště Barrandov route (tram no.20, 12 or 14) was opened in 2003 and is without a doubt the most interesting in Prague. Architect, Patrik Kotas, designed the ultra-modern stations that create a unique feature from the boring, grey walls.
