Charles Bridge: Walking along Charles bridge
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: This is the oldest of Prague's bridges and was founded by Charles IV in 1357. There are towers at either end of the bridge (the Lesser town bridge towers and the Old Town bridge tower). From 1683 to 1928 thirty sculptures of the saints were set onto the bridge piers. The bridge is 515m long and is 10m wide.

    Fondest Memory: Strolling along Charles bridge is a lovely activity as you get beautiful views across the river to the other bridges and a magnificent view to the cathedral and castle. There are many vendors selling paintings and other souvenirs along the bridge.

     Nice tips! I want to go, but my husband went before we met and now I may have a hard time getting him to go back. He only wants places that make his map more blue! :D
