10 Monuments & Statues in Nove Mesto (New Town) That You Shouldn't Miss
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

The eleven-metre-high statue is a 21st-century technical marvel of Prague. Forty-two moving panels form the face of the great Czech writer Franz Kafka. The statue by David Cerny stands at the Quadrio shopping centre and combines art with modern technologies and the traditional "golden hands" of Czech craftsmen. Watch the Metamorphosis, wait for the right alignment of the panels and discover Kafka!

I have always loved the Christmas tune so when planning to visit Prague I was happy to find out Good King Wenceslas was real and he had several prominent statues dedicated to him, including the one in Wenceslas Square. It is not uncommon in real estate to used art and architectural features to draw foot traffic to your space. This may be one of the more novel ways to do that, so I had to see this. I was very impressed as it is a fun play on the glorious statue on the road in front of the building. Actually the detail in the arcade is impressive and I sure has drawn people into this building for nearly 100 years. Again, I really like this and I think if you take the time to find it you too will be pleased and rewarded for your travel efforts.

Right under the imposing building of the National Museum, stands the statue of the King Wenceslas on a horse. The statue is undeniably an imposing work of art. It has been part of Prague's landscape for years and it dominates the Square. It is a monument to the beloved Czech king, with a great significance to the Czech Nation. A landmark. The history and the King Wenceslas statue remain the same, unfortunately the area around the Square itself keeps changing to accommodate the large influx of tourists.
