About

Charles Bridge is an iconic medieval bridge adorned with 30 Baroque statues of saints, connecting Prague's Old Town and Lesser Town. Constructed between 1357 and the early 15th century, it was the only means of crossing the Vltava River until 1841. The bridge offers stunning panoramic views of Prague Castle, the Vltava River, and the surrounding historic architecture. Today, the bridge is a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare, filled with artists, musicians, and vendors. Walking across it provides a journey through history and culture, with every statue telling a story. Exploring its historical significance and admiring the artistry embedded in its structure is a must-do for any visitor to Prague.
