Local Life
» A Night at the Opera Get dressed up to the nines and join the crowds of similarly
spruced-up Praguers attending a performance at the Prague State Opera ( CLICK HERE
) - only tourists dress down.
» Popular Hangouts The Bokovka ( CLICK HERE ) wine bar is owned by a couple
of Czech film directors, and is a popular meeting place for local arty types. Kávo-
varna ( CLICK HERE ) is another place where locals outnumber tourists by a long
way, despite being a few steps from Wenceslas Square.
Getting There & Away
» Metro The city's three metro lines all intersect in Nové Město, at Muzeum and
Můstek stations at the eastern and western ends (respectively) of Wenceslas Square,
and at Florenc station in northern Nové Město, while Karlovo náměstí station on line
B serves southern Nové Město.
» Tram Cutting across the middle of Wenceslas Square, trams 3, 9, 14 and 24 run
along Vodičkova and Jindřišská. Lines 17 and 21 run along the river embankment in
the west.
Lonely Planet's Top Tip
If you want to get away from the crowds and constant traffic of Wenceslas
Square, find your way to the Franciscan Garden ( CLICK HERE ) - an oasis of
peace just a short stroll away from the urban madness.
