Address
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.
How to get there

Lovely to look at from the outside. I didn’t bother going inside as it was quite early in the morning, and no one seemed to be around anyway.
Don’t think it’s worth making a special trip out just to see this, but if you’re in the vicinity, by all means drop by and have a boo!

The proper name is Novoměstská radnice, not Novomistska radnice, I should know as my parents were married there :)

Great view of Prague from above. The somewhat long stair case is worth climbing. There wasn’t much to view in the building as renovation was being done.

It is worth the 221 steps to the top. Your view of Prague is breathtaking. The information about the Town Hall and the year is was built will blow your mind that this building is still standing. The history of the town and the photos are worth the price of admission. Recommended.

The new town hall opens at 10am and payment only by cash. It’s 60kc. However it’s 350kc if you want to include entry to the old town hall plus the day and night entry to the old town hall tower. Unfortunately there’s no night time entry for the new town hall.
The lower 3 floors of the tower are sturdy brick and mortar construction. You can peep into some of the rooms in the old town hall. However it’s barricaded and sealed with a transparent glass panel. Afterwhich you will be stepping on old rickety timber planks to bring you up to the top.
The view above is fantastic and definitely worth the trip up. There’s some brief history and pictures of the tower up at the top.
This is a less popular site compared to the old town hall and there aren’t many people. However it gives you an unparalleled freedom to have a nice and peaceful all round view of the city.

This structure is located in the new town, not too far from Wenceslas Square. Unfortunately the tower didn't seem to be open when I visited so I had to be content with a view of the exterior. It's still quite nice and worth a quick stop as you explore the city.

Everyone goes to the Old Town Square so the New Town Square and New Town Hall are very much the poor relation, but well worth a look. The New Town Hall has an amazing tower that you can ascend - we only met two other people in the couple of hours we were there. Take a picnic to the New Town Square after you've been to the Town Hall.

A unique view of Prague is offered at the top of the great wooden staircase that winds it's way up this tower, Well worth the climb. Open Tuesdays to Sundays 10:00 to 18:00, entrance for a small fee. 221 steps to the top, is 42 metres high. The New Town Hall is a National Cultural Monument hosting exhibitions,concerts , theatre performances, lectures and other cultural and social events.
