Staying in Wenceslas Square at night
The square slopes from Můstek toward the National Museum, and your position changes the route back to your hotel. Side streets such as Jindřišská and Štěpánská have different traffic patterns from the boulevard itself. Ask which direction your room faces. Internal passages provide useful daytime shortcuts, but do not assume they remain accessible when you return late.
