Viewpoint over Wenceslas Square

The Prague audio-guided tour offers you a fine viewpoint over Wenceslas Square, readily compared to the Champs-Élysées of Paris: a great and beautiful avenue of the city centre, blending shops and monuments. It is the ideal moment for the souvenir photo.

The great perspective of the New Town

From this viewpoint, the axis of the square unfolds in a long perspective lined with palaces and buildings of great architectural value, aligned behind the rows of lime trees. In the background, the National Museum crowns the whole, while the equestrian statue of Saint Wenceslas marks its symbolic centre. It is one of the finest urban compositions of Prague.

What there is to see

The gaze takes in at once the monumental perspective of the square, its Art Nouveau and neo-Renaissance façades, its lively shops and the National Museum as a vanishing point. It is a privileged place to understand the urban planning of the New Town and to capture a fine image of Prague, particularly in the evening, when the buildings light up.
