In the so-called new town, one of the most important places is the Wenceslas (or Wenceslaus), a former horse market.
A very central and lively place, it also allows easy access by foot to many attractions. It is considered a bit like the equivalent of the Champs-Elysees in Paris. This is also the center of events for residents of Prague, like the one that marked the fall of communism in 1989.
