Wenceslas Square
Friday, 26th August 2005 by James Turnbull
Prague's National Museum was founded as the "Patriotic Museum" in 1818 and sits at the south end of Wenceslas Square, which isn't actually a square; it's a 750 metre long road. Wenceslas Square has been the location for many important events in Prague's history including when a student set himself on fire to protest the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union in 1968.
Wenceslas Square is also where British stag parties descend every weekend to get really drunk and fall over, but we won't be doing that!

I can recomend the view from the National Museum over the Wenceslas Square. Praha is a really relaxt city(i’ve been there twice).
By the way, Google Earth has a larger detail area of Praha.
Yeah, the view from the top is great, even better in the dark. And Praha really is something to see… (I’ve been there more than twice… well, I was born there…:-))
