People say this is just a bridge but with the music, artists and the views this was one of our favourite places, warning that there are beggars, some with dogs hoping to pray on animal lovers, they don't own the dogs they sit there for effect.

Prague has 9 bridges in total, and out of all of them this one is the most visited, which means most crowded, but most beautiful as well. It is a lovely walk, so take your time, make wishes at the special places, take pictures with different gothic statues. The bridge is not only amazing to walk on, but also is... More

The Charles Bridge is one of the iconic sights of Prague but at the same time it is like a visit to a fair. There is all sorts of music and Czeck made crafts and food stalls on or near the bridge. People mill around looking at Prague from a beautiful vantage point. Get there earlier so it is not... More

Charles Bridge is a very important and beautiful bridge of the city of Prague. All across the bridge there are nice statues, for example the statue of St. John of Nepomuk in the very place where he has been thrown off the bridge. From the bridge you get a nice view of the boats and the reflection of city lights... More

Great sight to behold. It seemed to be the central point of Prague, with lots of people wandering aimlessly backwards and forwards and enjoying the sights. If you've seen the movie Missions Impossible, you'll be able to eaisly locate where one of the earlier scenes was filmed (when the car blows up and Tom Cruise panics!) Another Prague must-see item.

Beautiful experience walking over the Charles Bridge. It was crowded! Such a historic structure. There are a lot of artisans, musicians and people selling stuff. I went during the day. Try and go during the early evening as I think it would be even more spectacular

This is by far the most beautiful historical object in Prague. There is always lots of live there and you will not get bored by the many small outlays selling various tourist items or you may have your portrait painted in no time. Beware in summer .... the bridge is totally filled with people and you can hardly move. But... More
