The Wenceslas Square is a 750 m long boulevard lined with banks, department stores, boutiques, shops, hotels, restaurants, cafés, theatres and cinemas. The upper end of the square is closed by the Neo-Renaissance building of the National Museum. In the upper part of the square stands the St. Wenceslas Memorial, it is a statue of Prince Wenceslas by J. V. Myslbek and a favorite meeting place of tourists. From the bottom of the Square we can go along Národní Street to the river Vltava. There is situated the National Theatre. Along the river we come to Vyšehrad, once the seat of Czech Princes. Now only a few remains of the castle have been preserved on the rock. The oldest costruction on Vyšehrad and in the whole Prague is the Rotunda of St. Martin, built in the 11st century. There is also the Slavín Cemetery, the burial place of famous personalities of our cultural and political life. Apart from the important institutions, charming places, houses and museums, is there also the Charles Univerzity, the oldest university in Central and Eastern Europe and the House of Artists (Rudolfinum).
But Prague is not only a historical city, it bustles with everyday life. It is an important road, rail, air (Ruzyně Airport) and river transport junction. Prague also has a dense network of local transport which includes trams, buses and newly built underground (1974), called the metro.
There are many industries in Prague too. The most importantkinds of industry are the engineering, food industry, textile, chemical, printing and film industries.
We can really say, Prague is the most interesting and beautiful city in our state. Maybe one of the most interesting and beautiful places in Europe.
