| General Description | Charles Bridge (Karlův most in Czech) is a stone 14th century Gothic bridge linking the two banks of Vltava river and two sides of Prague. It is one of the oldest bridges in Central Europe. This magnificent structure is one of the city's finest attractions, and is the main pedestrian route connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town. It was actually called the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most in Czech) during the first several centuries. The bridge is 516 meters long and nearly 10 m wide, resting on 16 arches shielded by ice guards. The entrance to Charles Bridge is marked by towers at both ends: the Old Town Bridge Tower on the east bank and the Lesser Town Bridge Tower and the Judith Tower on the west end. Both Old Town Bridge Tower and Lesser Town Bridge Tower can be climbed for a view of Prague and the bridge from above. The bridge is also popular with Czech artists, musicians and souvenir vendors whose stands line both sides of the bridge year-round. |
