CHARLES BRIDGE (Karlův Most) The Charles Bridge is a landmark in and of itself.  Prague's most famous bridge was built in 1357, but its statues were not added until 1657.

The bridge's 1700 foot length holds more than 30 sculptures, and is packed from bank to bank with tourists, vendors, artists, and musicians.  From the bridge, you can catch breathtaking views of Prague castle, as well as many of Prague's towering medieval buildings in the Old District.

Take a stroll along this beautiful Prague landmark and enjoy the hustle and bustle of a busy marketplace.  While you're there, don't forget to climb up the Powder Tower (Prašná Brána) at the end of the bridge for great views up and down the River Vltava.
