Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Square is actually a long boulevard 750 metres long that rises gently towards the southeast, where it is closed off by the neoclassical building of the National Museum. At that same end stands the equestrian statue of Saint Wenceslas, surrounded by other Czech patron saints carved on its base. Along the avenue are late 19th- and early 20th-century buildings, such as the Palác Koruna, the Lindt Building, the Adam Pharmacy, the Hotel Evropa or the Melantrich Building, from whose balcony Dubček and Havel addressed the public in 1989. The walk takes in the setting of key episodes in Czech history, from the proclamation of independence in 1918 to the Velvet Revolution, and in December it hosts the Christmas markets.
