Wenceslas Square Hotels

Wenceslas Square named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia, was once a horse market (Koňský trh) during the Middle Ages, is now the centre of the business and cultural communities in the New Town. It has been a place where many historical events occurred. The street slopes upward to the southeast side, ends up at the grand neoclassical Czech National Museum. The statue of Saint Wenceslas is accompanied by other Czech patron saints carved into the metaphorical statue base: Saint Ludmila, Saint Agnes of Bohemia, Saint Prokop, and Saint Adalbert of Prague. The places nearby are the Art Nouveau Hotel Europa, the Palác Koruna office building and shopping centre and the Gothic Church of Our Lady of the Snows.
