The most common activity among locals on Wenceslas Square is protesting. These protests take place symbolically in front of the statue of our patron saint, Wenceslas, representing hope for better times ahead. They often target the government and politics. In recent years, Wenceslas Square has seen a rise in political unrest, with demonstrations happening almost every other month. 😐
The second most common activity is visiting the National Museum... 🏛️ Just kidding! While the basic ticket to the National Museum costs around 13 EUR, locals tend to visit only during days of free admission, leading to long queues on national holidays and other occasions. 🎟️
In contrast, Primark, known for its inexpensive yet low-quality clothing, attracts locals to Wenceslas Square. The grand opening in 2021 saw people lining up for weeks. 👕
Poor Saint Wenceslaus, whose assassination was a crucial event for the foundation of the independent Czech state. What does he think while seeing that consumerism wins over national pride, and politicians prioritizing power struggles over the well-being of their people? 🤔🇨🇿

🌂☔️⚠️ Beware of the Czech umbrella gang! They don’t always tell the truth! 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷
🥃 We drink much more that just Becherovka. Slivovice, gin, rum, vodka and also Jägermeister are very popular.
🧁 Trdelnik aka chimney cake are not necessarly Czech invention, but they definitely taste nice and I like them. They are just too sweet so I have sugar overdose everytime I eat them.
💰Free tours are never for free who would have guessed that.
This is my grandma’s evergreen, do you recognize your grandma here? 👵🥟

🥤IN PRAGUE WE DON’T SAY PEPSI, WE SAY…
Go for Kofola instead of Coke or Pepsi! It is the Czech Coke recipe invented by clever Czech minds during the dark times of communism to meet the increasing demand of the local population for the famous drink of the capitalist West.
