June-September 10:00-22:00 November-February 10:00-17:00
However during our 5 day stay we only managed to find it open on our last day. It was worth it for the views - only a small charge of 40CZK. Directions: Charles Bridge

 Charles Bridge close to
sunset, Prague by jumpingnorman
I forgot which one I went up to. But it is nice because you do get a nice view of the bridge from above – you have magnificent overlook of the Baroque-style 30 statues and statuaries from the 1700’s.
…and when you see pictures of Charles Bridge again the future, you smile and remember you went up the tower… and did not jump... Leave a Comment Directions: Charles Bridge

The Gothic style tower at the Old Town end of the Charles Bridge was completed in 1380 as part of the defense system against northern invaders, such as a Swedish force which attacked unsuccessfully in 1648. The side facing the Old Town contains multiple statues of 14th Century kings, saints, and angels as seen in the closeup on image 1. Also of note - the heads of 27 executed Protestant noblement were hung from the bridge following their defeat at the Battle of White Mountain in 1618 by the Catholic Hapsburg rulers (the defeat and the head-exhibition both).
On the Mala Strana side, there are two dissimilar towers. The shorter is the only remnant of the early Judith Bridge, a Romanesque stone bridge destroyed by flooding in 1342. The larger tower was built in the late 15th Century by King George to balance the larger tower across the river. The last image is a closeup of the larger tower.
