 | Prague Charles Bridge Reviews | 1 - 10 of 62 |  |
Thanks to my VT friend Eugene (eugene.uk), i didn't miss the incredible sunsets over the Charles Bridge, with the Prague Castle looking from the top of the hill.
Lots of tourists were waiting for the perfect shoot, and I was one of them. I wish to have a better camera on that moment… Leave a Comment

Tourists, tourists, and more tourists. That is what you see on the Charles Bridge. Also you will see street peddlers lining the bridge with their artwork. I went down early one morning before the crowds arrived. The bridge is very beautiful in the morning. There was a mist in the air and the statues along the bridge seem to come to live from within the mist. I watched as the vendors came to set up their tables for day. And finally the tourists started to arrive. But I had already had my moment with the Charles Bridge. So now it was time to leave the tourists to the vendors and move on. Leave a Comment

This is one of my favorite photographs I took from the Charles Bridge. It was not of the bridge or the tourists or the vendors. It is a shot just off of the bridge with a lone sculpture overlooking the water front. Its almost as if the statue has turned its back to the crowds to ignore them and just enjoy the view of the river. Thats my best Charles Bridge tip for you. Turn your back from the crowds and the vendors. Forget the tourists rubbing the statues for good luck. And just look out on the river and let yourself escape to another time and another place.

There is much written about the Charles Bridge. There are articles about the various statues on the bridge. There are stories about this history of the bridge itself. And then there is the tourist whimscial information. Notice the two guys in hats. They are touching the statue in the picture. According to legend you are to touch this statue for good luch when crossing the bridge. The statue has a very worn area that is very shiney from all of the hands that touch it daily. Once more they guys in hats fall victim to being just typical tourists. Leave a Comment

There is another legend. The bridge was twice destroyed by river floods. The architect was very upset and decided to give his soul to the devil. Devil promised to help architect but he asked the soul of the first creature who will cross the bridge. The architect agreed. So, the bridge was successfully built. In the day when architect opened it, he saw that his grandson rushed to the bridge. But architect caught up him and threw cock to the road and the cock crossed the bridge. Leave a Comment

The bridge was being built during 100 hundred years. The building was begun in July 9, 1357 and first stone was laid by Karl IV. The legend says that long time the architect couldn't find a substance that to keep bridge during floods. The substance was white egg. Leave a Comment

Karlův most in Czech, this is one of the most famous attractions of the capital. Looking towards Malá Strana, one can see the castle perched on top of the hill. As you walk along, there are many beautiful statues, and the bridge is pedestrian only, adding to its charm. Centrally located on the royal walk, it is unique and can not be missed. Leave a Comment

One of Prague's most popular sights, packed with people all day long, Charles Bridge is a lot quieter after dark and much more atmospheric. Many of the souvenir stalls which ruin the bridge during the day are gone in the evening and it's a much nicer time to visit what is one of Prague's most popular sights. The light from the lamps on the bridge provides a striking contrast to the dark, eerie statues and there are great views of the castle in the background. Leave a Comment

A VIST TO CHARLES BRIDGE IS A MUST .IF YOU ARE THERE IN WINTER IF YOU GO EARLY IN THE MORNING THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE ON THE BRIDGE IT GIVES A DIFFRENT ATMOSPHERE TO WHEN THE BRIDGE IS BUSY. BUT WHENEVER YOU GO THE ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT!
THE HISTORY, THE BUILDING, THE BEER! Leave a Comment

Not all the statuary on the bridge is devoted to religious subjects (there are three Madonnas thereon and many saints). Some are even comical, some gruesome, and others historic. See for yourself when you marvel at every statue. The bridge would be an enchanting place just because of its age, location, styling and its wonderful medieval anchors at either end, but while upon the bridge itself, the statues form the most charming escort.
