Charles Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
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.

Comments
Looked around the area a bit.
(several times: used Komoot as an alibi but only once).
Conclusion: beautiful city, great buildings,
but you can hardly take photos of them because there are tourists everywhere or they have to push you along (because the streets are so narrow).
