Wenceslas Square in Prague is a vibrant area of hotels, apartments, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. There are also banks and local and international shops. It is the entertainment and nightlife centre of Prague, and the main shopping and commercial district begins here.
Wenceslas Square (Václavské námestí) is one of the two main squares in Prague, so is a popular place for visitors to stay (the Old Town Square is the other square, just 5 minutes walk away).
Wenceslas Square lies at the heart of the New Town (Nové Mesto) - the word new is misleading though, as the area was actually laid out in 1348 by Charles IV.
While there is plenty of history in this part of town for the visitor to immerse themselves in, it is also easy from here to walk anywhere in the city centre, to visit all of the Prague sights and attractions.
Wenceslas Square is really a boulevard, measuring 750m long by 60m wide. It was originally laid out as the Prague horse market 650 years ago.
