Wenceslas Square, the National Museum and the National Theatre, with Charles Square and the Emmaus Monastery farther south.

Why go

The day after the old town, or an evening by the theatre. Wenceslas Square is emptier in the morning.

Wenceslas Square is a long boulevard: the museum is the uphill end, the theatre is lower, toward the river along Národní. Charles Square and Emmaus are a second walk south, past the side streets of the boulevard.

Where to have it

  • U Fleků — Пивоварня-ресторан на Křemencova 11. Свой зал и свой двор, тёмное пиво варят здесь. Дверь с Křemencova, это один дом, не сеть.
  • U Medvídků — Пивной зал на Na Perštýně 7. В том же доме есть гостиница, но дверь, куда приходят пить, ведёт в ресторан, не в лобби. Свой варимый зал в Новом городе.
