Charles Bridge

  [edit this]

The Charles Bridge (Karluv most) is the heart of Prague.
This Gothic bridge is the main connection between the old town and the castle. It is 516 m long, 9.5 m wide and supported by 16 massive piers. Both ends are fortified by towers. Up to 19th century there was no other bridge in Prague than this one.


Nowadays, the bridge is crowded with sales people and street artists.
