Czech Republic, Prague - Prague's Wenceslas Square and Old Town

I've never really classed myself as a city type but I think Prague might be changing my mind. Another day just as special as yesterday. Spent the morning exploring Wenceslas Square and it's surrounds and the afternoon in old town and it's square. Wenceslas Square was historically the main area of the city where political regimes down the years have publicized themselves. Conversely it has also been the area of focus for political protest against them. The old town, particularly it's square, has been the city's principal public square for a 1000 years and its stunning aray of architecture certainly bears this out. And to top it all I found the best coffee and cake I've had for some considerable time!! So impressed was I that I actually took a picture!!
Having spent yesterday in the castle district and grounds, I will spend tomorrow in Prague Castle itself. After that it will probably be time to move on!
Couple of picture of Wenceslas Square attached looking towards the National Museum. No prises for guessing who the guy on the horse is!
