Join me on another sunny Wednesday walk through Prague. With the temperature reaching 30°C, we begin at the iconic Powder Tower and slowly explore the city, always choosing the shady side of the street.
Even when the heat is intense, the beauty of Prague never fails to impress.

(Na Příkop)It is a street in the centre of Prague, Czech Republic, connecting Wenceslas Square with Republic Square.
It separates the Old Town from the New Town. It is a place of representative buildings, including the headquarters of the Czech National Bank, old palaces, and luxurious shops.
Na Příkopě Street leads to the site of the former 10-meter-wide and 8-meter-deep moat, dating back to 1234, which ran along the medieval walls of the Old Town. Water flowed directly from the Vltava River, and when the moat was filled, the Old Town formed a closed island. The moat was covered in 1760. After wrapping, chestnut trees were planted here, and the street was named Ve starých alejích (In old alleys). Between 1845 and 1870, the street was named Kolowratská třída, and since 1871, it has borne the name Na Příkopě.
Because it was one of the few vast streets in Prague, it soon became a traffic artery. Since 1875, the first horse-drawn tram line in Prague has been running here, and it was electrified in 1899. In 1919, Můstek became the first intersection in Prague controlled by a traffic policeman. In 1927, the second intersection with the light signalling occurred. Many new stores appeared on the street, making it an important business centre of Prague's promenade.

Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí)
This square is the commercial and administrative centre of the city, as well as the site of important social and historical events. You'll find cinemas, theatres, banks, hotels, restaurants, dozens of small and large shops, and administrative centres here. The Square was created during the founding of the New Town by Charles IV in 1348. Today, it is dominated by the National Museum (1885–1891) and Josef Václav Myslbek's statue of the national patron, St. Wenceslas, from 1912.

The Old Town Square is Prague's oldest and most important square. It is surrounded by historical buildings, such as the Old Town City Hall with the famous Astronomical Clock, the imposing St. Nicholas Church, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, as well as many houses and palaces of various architectural styles and colourful history. It has been a centre of Prague's Old Town since the Middle Ages, a marketplace that crossed the road of European merchants. The first houses were built around the Old Town Square in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some present homes still have Romanesque or Gothic foundations, basements, or ground floors. The Old Town City Hall was built in the 14th century, and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn a little later. The Old Town Square became the economic and political centre of Prague's Old Town.
