Prague In Your Pocket - Venceslas Square (Václavské náměstí)Backhttp://prague.inyourpocket.com Prague In Your Pocket editor, Jacy Meyer on Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) which is actually a boulevard running down from the National Museum and the equestrian statue of Saint Venceslas to Můstek, formerly the site of of a city gate and drawbridge. This is where crowds traditionally come to demonstrate against their incompetent rulers, and this was where, in 1989, thousands gathered to shake their keys in celebration of the death of the Communist Party. Rows of shops, hotels (note the Art Nouveau glory of Hotel Europa) and nightclubs flank the pavements, and by night it can get a bit sleasy. Thankfully, there are plans to rid the square of cars, bury the highway in front of the museum in a tunnel and have tram N°11 make a come-back.
