Old Town Tower at Charles Bridge

Charles Bridge stands as one of the most significant landmarks in the Czech Republic. Its construction commenced in 1357 during the reign of King Charles IV.

This grand limestone structure, featuring 16 splendid arches, boasts an outer gallery embellished with 30 Baroque statues representing the saints of that historical period. For centuries, it was the sole means of crossing the Vltava River, linking Prague Castle and the Old Town.

This remarkable fortification from the 14th century not only served defensive roles but also functioned as a triumphal arch for monarchs parading during their coronation ceremonies.

As you navigate its historical spiral staircase leading to the upper observation gallery, you will observe the marks of battles endured over the ages and capture breathtaking photographs of Charles Bridge from this vantage point.

Additionally, a digital audio guide in English will accompany you, allowing for an insightful exploration of the bridge’s construction, filled with legends and historical narratives, all at your own pace.
