Known fornew-townhistoriccentral
Wenceslas Square is less a square than a broad boulevard in New Town, anchored by the statue of St. Wenceslas on horseback in front of the National Museum. It has been the stage for major moments in Czech history, including the 1989 Velvet Revolution. Today it is a busy commercial strip; the lower end has a reputation for tourist-trap exchange offices and nightlife, so keep your wits about you.
