There is no combined route ticket for browsing the stalls in the two squares. Food and purchases are paid at the stalls; towers, museums and indoor concerts have independent admission and are not included in the walk.
Getting there
Prague City Tourism places Praha hlavní nádraží near Wenceslas Square. Walk to Václavské náměstí and head downhill towards Můstek for the lower-square market; continue via Na Můstku and Melantrichova to Old Town Square.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The National Museum complex at Václavské náměstí 68 offers indoor collections at the top of Wenceslas Square. It requires museum admission, separate from the market; special exhibitions may have their own arrangements.
