Wenceslas Square is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural communities in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic. Many historical events occurred there, and it is a traditional setting for demonstrations, celebrations, and other public gatherings. The square is named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. Formerly known as Konsky trh (English: Horse Market), for its periodic accommodation of horse markets during the Middle Ages, it was renamed Svatovaclavske namestí (English: Saint Wenceslas square) in 1848 on the proposal of Karel Havlícek Borovsky. Prague is one of most visited tourist cities in Europe. Good accomodation, food and beer. Avoid winter because of very low temperatures.
