The square gained the look we know  by the end of the 19th century, according to plans of well known architect František Josef Thomayer.

Today it is an important lane of business, culture and traffic. At the very end of it you´ll find the National Theater, a work of architect Josef Zítek, which is well discernible by the gilded fence on the top of its roof.  Opposing the historical theater scene in many ways is the  Nová scéna/ New scene , where the modern theater is at home.

One of the institutions of the Faculty of natural sciences is the Botanical garden, the outdoor exposition is freely accessible and the remote corners were just made for quiet contemplation or reading a book. In the greenhouses there is permanent exhibition of  tropical and subtropical plants and cactus plants. On the very edge of the Botanical garden is a kindergarten serving mainly students and body of the Faculty of natural sciences, which is offering the children a daily contact with animals and plants. Other favorable spots for walks are the park Folimanka and of course Vyšehrad, which are right around the corner.
