Na Příkopě
What people say
Melanie Mallory
"Mel says: The street is named Na Příkopě meaning, "on the moat" as this was indeed where the moat outside the walls of Old Town once was. The walls of Old Town used to be where there is now a long line of buildings containing residences, stores, and shopping malls. This street connects Republic Square to the low (north) end of Wenceslas Square. At Wenceslas Square, go into the Mustek metro station (the stairs down are found behind the New Yorker clothing store) to see a 14th century archaeological remnant of a little bridge that used to cross over the aforementioned moat. The station is named "Mustek," the Czech word for 'little bridge,' as it was discovered when they were building the station in the 1970s. "

"One of the most prominent streets in Prague. Leading northeastward from the lower end of Wenceslas Square it continues towards Republic Square, where it merges at the intersection near the Powder Tower, the Municipal House, and the Hybernia Palace. It used to be one of the busiest thoroughfares in Prague, partially transitioning into a pedestrian zone since 1985."

"This street in the centre of Prague connects Wenceslas Square with Republic Square, separating the Old Town from the New Town.
It is home to numerous representative buildings, including the headquarters of the Czech National Bank, historic palaces, luxury shops and many clothing shops!"
