View of Prague Castle from Charles Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tourist hub. It's always very crowded here, but you also have a beautiful view of Prague's old town and over the Vltava.

Charles Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Construction of the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) began in 1357, after its predecessor, the Judith Bridge, built around 1160, was destroyed in a flood in 1342. Its original name was simply "Stone Bridge" (Kamenný most) or "Prague Bridge" (Pražský most).
It has only been called Charles Bridge since 1870. It stands on 16 pillars and is 516 meters long. Above the first pillar on the Old Town side rises a gate tower, considered one of the most beautiful Gothic towers in existence. The other 15 pillars are decorated with sculptures on each side. But this wasn't the case from the beginning:
the sculptures were only added after 1700.
At the bridgehead on the Lesser Town side, there are two towers, the smaller of which is said to have originated from the Judith Bridge. The larger tower houses a tourist information office, and like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it can also be climbed.
Like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it is open daily.
Both towers are open daily from 10 a.m., until 7 p.m. in winter and until 10 p.m. in summer. Admission is 75 CZK each.
The Charles Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge and one of the most popular tourist destinations. Among the almost constant stream of visitors, there are
occasionally souvenir vendors. Very often, these are painters who market their artistic creations here. And it is probably also one of the places where one can expect an increased incidence of
unwanted property transfers.

St. Vitus Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Vitus Cathedral (also known as St. Vitus' Cathedral, Czech: Katedrála sv. Víta or Chrám sv. Víta,[1] full name Katedrála svatého Víta, Václava a Vojtěcha) at Prague Castle is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Prague and the largest church building in the Czech Republic. It was built from 1344 onwards under Crown Prince Charles, later Charles IV, first by the French architect Matthias of Arras and then primarily by the German architect Peter Parler, modeled after the French royal cathedrals. The Bohemian kings processed in a solemn procession along the Royal Route from Prague's Old Town into the cathedral, which served as their coronation church. Besides the tombs of the Bohemian rulers, the cathedral also contains the coronation regalia, which are kept in the Crown Chamber. The cathedral is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Prague.

View of Prague Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Prague Castle with the Castle Palace, churches, monasteries and palaces impressively reflects more than a thousand years of history of the Czech state. In the 14th century Emperor Charles IV made Prague Castle the center of the Holy Roman Empire and St Vitus Cathedral the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Prague. The President of the Czech Republic has resided here since 1918 and the President of the Czech Republic since 1993.
