Prague 8 covers a wide area, from a small part close to Prague 1 to the outskirts in the north. An important business center has been developed close to the metro station "Florenc". Further to the East, the district of Karlin, on the riverbank, is well connected to the center with 2 metro stations and some trams. After the flooding in the summer 2002, a number of buildings were reconstructed. The northern part of Prague 8 is less accessible.
