Na příkopě (The Moat)

Prague's elegant pedestrian boulevard between Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square — shopping, coffee houses and grand architecture in one place.

Na příkopě — meaning "at the moat" — is Prague's most elegant boulevard, linking Wenceslas Square with Old Town Square. Where a medieval moat once separated the Old and New Towns, today you stroll through a lively pedestrian zone lined with splendid Baroque palaces, Art Deco buildings and international flagship stores. Na příkopě is Prague's premier shopping street, but also a place of coffee house culture and fine dining. Particularly in the evening, when the historic facades are illuminated, the street develops a special atmosphere that blends city life with a historic backdrop.
