Why you should visit it
This is such an off the beaten path spot, gathering place in a public space to promote 'democratic dialogue ' between civilizations, races and religions, a cause promoted and espoused by Václav Havel. Very actual topics these days... Some other "Havel´s places" can be also seen in few world cities: Washington D.C., Dublin, Barcelona, etc.
Special tip
The memorial place was designed by world renowned Czech architect and designer Bořek Šípek, chief Prague Castle architect during Havel´s presidency.
