There are interesting a rustically building of Nusle Town Hall from the year 1908, and a late old Nusle brewery from 1694, and parish church of St. Wenceslaus built 1899. It borders Vyšehrad to the west, the New Town and Vinohrady to the north and Vršovice to the east. The southern part of Nusle, on a plain above the valley, is known as Pankrác for the St. Pankratz church.

A large bridge, Nuselský most (Nusle Bridge), one of the largest in the Czech Republic, connects the opposite sides of the valley. The bridge is 485 m long, 26.5 m wide and is 42.5 m above ground. Over 300 people have committed suicide by jumping from it since 1973,^[1] when the bridge was finished. The C line of the Prague Metro runs along the lower level of the bridge and Vyšehrad Station is at the southern end of the Bridge.
