Charles Bridge
Statues line this Gothic bridge across the Vltava, with Prague Castle rising above the far bank.
Walk from the Old Town end toward the castle, letting the statues frame the towers ahead. Return after dark for the floodlit skyline, or climb the Old Town Bridge Tower for a higher view. Its gallery requires 138 steps, has no barrier-free access and requires an adult with under-15s. Keep bags closed in crowds and watch for slippery cobbles.
