Despite its name, Wenceslas Square actually looks more like a boulevard or avenue. It is the center of cultural and social life in Prague, as well as an important commercial center, with a number of hotels, restaurants, cafes, discos, night clubs, cinemas, department stores, and other establishments. The Prague "Scene" starts and ends in Wenceslas Square. It's almost impossible not to find yourself on the Square at least once a day, to stop and have a coffee in one of its open-air cafes or do some shopping. The adjacent streets are also of interest, with their shops and other services, such as the Main Post Office on Jindřišská Street. Wenceslas Square was also the primary scene of the "Velvet Revolution" in 1989.
