| One of the most enjoyable aspects of visiting Prague is that much of the compact old core is accessible on foot, with plenty of bars and cafes to provide relief along the way and an excellent public transport system on hand to ease tired limbs. The most famous square in Prague is Wenceslas Square, scene of the Velvet Revolution celebrations in 1989, though its shabby facades and dubious nightclubs are not too appealing these days. Just to the northwest is a far more cohesive and appealing public space, the Old Town Square, the throbbing heart of tourist Prague. The view from the top of the Old Town Hall gives a solid idea of the layout. |
