You should take a walk down the Charles bridge while visiting Prague .. It is full of amazing views of the river and wonderful sculptures .. If you are into photography , don't miss this spot!

When in Prague it is a must, however, hoards of people walk it every minute and you find it hard to enjoy the experience. No matter what yo cannot avoid it so take pictures and feel part of the crowd

This attraction is nice both by day and by night. During day time there are quite some artists painting, singing or playing an instrument. During the evening this might be the most romatic place in the city.

An old stone bridge with lots of small stalls selling overpriced items of questionable quality, more tourists than I have ever seen before and plenty of beggars. Yes, it has a lot of history and nice views but it is not that special.

Just highly entertaining walking across the bridge, checking out the portrait artists, the array of musicians, the tinkers peddling jewelery and other knock knacks. you know its touristy - but its touristy for a reason. Its worth doing!

The bridge is not long. Full of artists and musicians on the beautiful day we crossed. Great river views. Great architecture to the bridge itself. Cross it on your way to the cathedral on the river side opposite of old town. The walk across the bridge, then up to the cathedral, and tours of the cathedral and one of the... More

Charles Bridge should be experienced at different times of the day and night. At night it's like a party. In the afternoon it's part art show and part street fair. Much less frantic in the morning before the vendors set up. In April the lights on the bridge go out at 06:09. I was out at 05:30 the second morning... More

curious. One of the statues, legend has it, will answer a wish if you touch the bronze carving on the right or left. On the left, the wish will bring love and pain. On the right...I forget.
