About
Greiti faktai: A bustling hub teeming with vibrant energy, where locals and tourists mingle amidst grand shops and historical architecture. You can often hear street musicians adding a melodic backdrop while exploring this iconic gathering spot that witnessed many pivotal moments in history.
Svarbiausi dalykai: Beneath the bustling pavement, a series of underground tunnels connect the square's metro station to ancient cellars from the 14th century, where whispers of medieval Prague still linger. On December 4th every year, locals light candles along the central statue, commemorating St. Wenceslas, creating a warm, flickering glow that feels like stepping back in time.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, sections of the square are long and paved with cobbles.
- Photo spot: stand by the Saint Wenceslas equestrian statue and shoot toward the National Museum for a dramatic wide view.
- Avoid eating at restaurants directly on the square; walk one or two side streets south for better prices and local menus.
- If a protest or public event is scheduled, check local updates and allow extra time to navigate closures.
