 View from Tower by doogienj
There is a great view here of the castle. The bridge is pedestrian only and in cobblestone. You can climb the tower on the old town side, which provides a great view in all directions.
On the bridge you will find lots of people catering for the tourist, including blind singers, painters, barbershop groups, and other temptations to get the tourist money. It's a lively place that is great for people watching.
On both sides of the bridge you have various statues. Some are in great shape, considering the bridge is over 600 years old. Leave a Comment Directions: Connectiong Old Town and Mala Strana and Prague Castle

Named after the Emperor Charles IV in 19th century the Charles Bridge.Its the oldest bridge in Prague. The bridge was built in place of the Judita’s bridge that was badly damaged by a flood in 1342. The bridge was founded on 9 July 1357 at 5.31 o'clock. It is 520m long and 9m wide. The bridge is flanked with 30 statues and the oldest is statue of St. John Nepomuk from 1683. Many of them have been replaced with copies. Originals are kept in the Lapidarium of the National Museum and at Vysehrad. One of the most famous is the bronze crucifix of 1629. If you look close, you can see Hebrew lettering The bridge is now only for the pedestrians. Magnificent Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower was designed by Petr Parler and built at the end of the 14th century. It is considered the finest Gothic tower in central Europe, mainly for its decoration. There are marvelous views of the Vltava river Valley, the Zofin, Strelecki Island, the Old Town and the Lesser Town
According to legend the cobblestones are bound together with thousands of eggs, which may explain how the bridge has survived the constant tramping of tourists. Leave a Comment

 Performers on Charles
Bridge, Prague by easyoar
All these people of course bring market stalls and street performers. This guy was one of the best I saw. He had many glasses of water (filled to different levels), and he could play very accomplished tunes by rubbing th edges of the glasses to make different musical notes. He had quite a crowd as you can see here. Leave a Comment Directions: Connectiong Old Town and Lesser Town

This picture gives me the occasion to show you the nice architecture in Prague.
You probably didn't see it before in my previous pictures and tips because of the snow, but most of the roofs in Prague are painted in a nice red, and this gives to the whole scenario a quite unique touch. Leave a Comment Directions: Connectiong Old Town and Lesser Town

You will see many statues along the bridge, the most famous is the one of St John Nepomuk, you will see that below him on each side there are two parts very brilliant of people touching. It seems to be good luck to touch the baby on the right side and you have to wish something and do not say it. People also touch the dog on the left, but the guide said that there is no legend about him…. But just in case LOL do both
We began the itinerary from Charles Bridge again. We cross the bridge and go up Mostecka street till Malostranske Namesti (square) to get the tram number 22, ask the driver for the stop or follow the rest of the tourist LOL

 Charles Bridge by Blatherwick
Standing in the middle is great as you look over the side and look at the bridges along the river. You then look back towards the town center where the spires all stand and it looks a bit like Disneyland (except more real). You look the other way and you see the castle on the hill. Just incredible.
During the summer, the social atmosphere enchanted me with street-painters, street-vendors and tourists. In the evening people come with guitars and sing-a-longs develop. What a great place to just sit back and people watch. Leave a Comment Directions: Connectiong Old Town and Lesser Town
