Wenceslas Square is not a traditional square but a wide boulevard at the heart of Prague's New Town. Lined with grand buildings, shops, hotels, and restaurants, it has been a focal point for public gatherings and historical events, including the Velvet Revolution. Visitors can stroll along the pedestrian-friendly center, admire the statue of Saint Wenceslas, and gaze up at the National Museum at the top. The square buzzes with energy day and night, offering a mix of modern retail and historic architecture.
