Hundreds see New Year in on Wenceslas Square

Several hundred people celebrated the arrival of 2022 on Prague’s Wenceslas Square with champagne and fireworks, despite the ban on fireworks in many parts of Prague. According to Prague City Tourism around 60,000 foreign visitors celebrated New Year's Eve in Prague, which is significantly less than before the pandemic. Restaurants in the city centre were full, but due to the pandemic there was no official fireworks or video-mapping display.
