Prague Tourist Attractions - Wenceslas Square - Josefov
Prague tourists head primarily for the Wenceslas
Square, the Altstädter ring and the Karl
bridge. The Karl bridge connects Kleinseite and
the higher lying castle and therefore the old and new parts of the
city. The central tourist area consists of five parts: the castle
district Hradcany, the underneath lying Mal Strana
(Kleinseite), Star Mesto (old part of town) located on
the other side of the Karl bridge, with the Josefov
district (the Jewish quarter) in the north and Nov Mesto
(the new part of the city) in the south.
The royal road, which was used frequently for processions in the
past, is the most important tourist route of Prague. It begins at
the Praná brána (Powder Tower) at the Námestí
Republiky (Republic Square) and leads across the Cleletn
to the Old town ring road. From there the tourist route passes by
the astronomical clock and leads across the Karlova to
the Karls bridge.
After crossing the bridge one follows the Mosteck by the
park Mark Strana up to the baroque plaza Malostranske
Námestí. From this place, roads go off, which lead
via the long stairs to the castle. The Námestí Republiky
with its fabulous city hall well Na Prkope leads to the
Wenceslas Square, the centre of the shopping
activity and also the nightlife.
