Prague Attractions
Description
Venue: Wenceslas Square When: Daily
One of Prague's most popular attractions, Wenceslas Square was laid out over 600 years ago to house the city's horse market. Nowadays it is lined with stores, restaurants and hotels and is filled with the bustle of city life.
The square is dominated by a statue of Prague's patron saint, Wenceslas or Vaclav, which was unveiled in 1912 and is located at the top of the square in front of the Prague National Museum. Throughout its history the area has been variously used for political rallies, demonstrations and mass celebrations, such as during the 1969 Ice Hockey World Championships, when the Czech team defeated the Russians.
