The Charles Bridge

Charles Bridge
Czech republic, Prague
Charles Bridge - a bridge in Prague over the Vltava River, connects the districts of Prague Lesser Town and the Old Town. Built in the Middle Ages. There are 30 sculptures on the bridge. The bridge is 520 m long and 9.5 m wide. The bridge rests on 16 powerful arches lined with hewn sandstone blocks.

Today it is the only work of its kind in medieval art. The stone bridge was originally called Prague, in 1870 it was named after the founder.

Nearby is the Charles Bridge Museum, which tells about the history of the bridge, as well as about the construction and numerous reconstructions of this wonderful piece of architecture. The museum has a cafe and a museum shop.

It's amazing that such a magical place has not yet been written about. Wishes made on this bridge come true! Checked! By right, this bridge can be considered the heart of Prague. It connects the two banks of the Vltava. From it you can see Vysehrad, St. Vitus Cathedral, rapids on the Vltava and just standing in the middle is like being in the middle of the Magic Kingdom. You can buy watercolors and souvenirs, you can listen to amateur music, or you can just open an umbrella and wait out the unexpected Prague rain.
