Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Square is one of the most important squares in Prague, in the New Town. It serves as a commercial, cultural and social hub.

The square has been the setting for many historic events, including the demonstrations and political changes of the 20th century.

At its upper end stand the National Museum and the statue of St. Wenceslas.

Satori Cities

On a Satori Cities walk, Wenceslas Square is not treated as a box to tick. It is a place to notice open space, facades, and the rhythm of arriving footsteps, to slow the body down, and to receive the historical context only after perception has done its work.
