The heart of Prague

This square looks more like a boulevard, because it’s 60m wide and 750m long. It’s packed with hotels, boutiques, fashion stores, cinemas, theatres and night clubs.

The square has witnessed a lot of most important political events, such as the demonstrations in the 1960s. This is where you can find the monuments to the victims of communism, including Jan Parlah who set himself on fire in 1969 when the country was occupied.

Address: Vaclavske namesti (Wenceslas Square)

Directions: Metro line C station Narodni muzeum or line A station Mustek.
