The 'New Town' (new in 1348), around Wenceslas Square — the shops, the transport hub, grand 19th-century boulevards. Flatter, more workaday and better value than the old town, with everything a short walk or tram away.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 5.Wenceslas Square — Less a square than a grand boulevard, watched over by the mounted statue of St Wenceslas and the National Museum — the stage for the Velvet Revolution. Come for the weight of the past century; stay for the sausage stands.
- 9.The Dancing House — Frank Gehry's playful riverside building, a glass tower that seems to sway into its stone partner — nicknamed 'Fred and Ginger'. A jolt of the modern among the baroque, with a rooftop bar for the view along the Vltava.
- 13.Czech comfort food — Hearty and unfussy — svíčková (beef in creamy root sauce with dumplings), goulash in a bread bowl, roast pork with sauerkraut, and a sweet trdelník to finish. Filling, cheap, and made for the cold and the beer beside it.
