New Town (Nove Mesto)

New Town (Nové Město) was built in the 14th century southwest of Old Town, with Wenceslas Square in its centre. It is the fourth, and last, of Prague's towns which closed the medieval development of Prague. Na příkopě is the street that was the traditional dividing line between Old Town and New Town. It was built over the old moat, the defensive structure around Old Town and links to Powder Gate at its eastern end. Today it is pedestrianised and full of modern shops, restaurants, casinos and exchange offices. The Prague Information Service office can be found at no. 20.
