Don't forget to visit the Lucerna Palace. In its freely accessible passage is another of David Černý's amazing and daring sculptures - St. Wenceslas Upside Down.

At the end of Wenceslas Square is the National Museum - worth a visit.

Explore Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Square, also known as Václavské náměstí in Czech, is a bustling city square in Prague, Czech Republic. It's like the heart of the New Town area, where all the action happens - from historical events to public gatherings and celebrations. You'll find the iconic statue of Saint Wenceslas there, along with the grand National Museum at one end. It's not just a square; it's more like a long boulevard with shops, markets, hotels, and tons of pedestrian traffic. Plus, it's got a rich history, including being the spot where the Czechoslovak declaration of independence was read in 1918 and where the Velvet Revolution demonstrations took place in 1989.
