At roughly 80,550 m², it is one of the largest squares in the world and was the largest town square of medieval Europe. Founded in 1348 as the main square of the New Town by Charles IV, it was known as Dobytčí trh (Cattle Market) from the 15th century and finally named after its founder in 1848. The central portion of the square was turned into a park in the 1860s. The square is now one of the main transport hubs of the city centre, with Karlovo náměstí metro station and numerous tram lines and busy roads crossing it in all directions. https://goo.gl/maps/xM7oQA3SQj7ifVqM7 Vodickova Street (Vodičkova Alice) is a well-known street full of tourists not only during the day but also at night, when traffic does not stop. It connects Prague's two largest squares, Charles Square and Wenceslas Square. The street is named after Jan Vodička, a wealthy new-town butcher who, in the 15th century, owned the most prominent house (No. 699), which is now the U Nováků palace. Thanks to the road's strategic position, connecting the Horse market (Wenceslas Square) and the Cattle Market (Charles Square), it was a vital business route in the past. Nowadays, it is one of the most visited streets, offering entertainment for all ages. It is used by cars and trams, and at the street corner is the metro station Můstek. Prague has many shops, restaurants, pubs, and places to visit. One is the Lucerna Passage, which has a beautiful Art Nouveau cinema, a classy café, and a famous concert venue. It is one of the most popular places in the city centre. Opposite Lucerna, there is the cinema Světotor that features good films. If you walk through the passage, you'll find yourself in the Franciscan gardens, a quiet and beautiful place to relax after your strolls in the hectic city centre.

You'll find cinemas, theatres, banks, hotels, restaurants, dozens of small and large shops, and administrative centres here. The Square was created when Charles IV founded the New Town in 1348. Today, it is dominated by the National Museum (1885 – 1891) and Josef Václav Myslbek's statue of the national patron, St Wenceslas, from 1912. https://goo.gl/maps/R3o7pbj6FeG7QVok6 The Old Town Square is Prague's oldest and most important square. It is surrounded by historical buildings such as the Old Town City Hall with the famous Astronomical Clock, the imposing St. Nicholas Church, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, as well as many houses and palaces of various architectural styles and colourful history. It has been a centre of Prague's Old Town since the Middle Ages, a marketplace crossing the roads of European merchants. The first houses were built around Old Town Square in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some present homes still have Romanesque or Gothic foundations, basements, or ground floors. The Old Town City Hall was built in the 14th century, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn a little later. Old Town Square became Prague's economic and political centre. https://goo.gl/maps/5p7mgsjJ9zqtHYAC9 My second channel:    / @driverelaxradio   Instagram:   / perceptionphilosophy   Recorded in 4k Perception Philosophy © 2026 April 26, 2026 Czech Republic
