Wenceslas Square is a long, huge, bustling boulevard of shops, bars, theatres and passageways. It is the one place in Prague that never seems to sleep.

The caterpillar tracks of Soviet tanks thundered through in 1968. Here in 1918 Tomas Masaryk declared the First Republic and, in 1989, thousands of demonstrators gathered on Wenceslas Square to usher in the “Velvet Revolution” and send Communism packing. This walk takes us along its broad avenue, punctuated with grand buildings in an array of architectural styles – from Empire and Art Nouveau to Cubism and Constructivism. We move on to The Powder Tower, one of the medieval gateways to Old Town. We stop at the Neoclassical Estates Theatre, where Mozart first premiered Don Giovanni, and the venerable Karolinum, the oldest of the many buildings today known as Charles University, founded in 1348 by the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV.
