Prague Travelogue
A day in the beautiful city of Praha!
The bridges
The Iconic Charles Bridge
The massive Charles Bridge (Karlův Most) is an amazing sight, and definitely worth crossing at least a couple of times. It is more than 600 years old. It’s massive with Baroque religious statuary lining both sides. The bridge is packed with tourists, musicians, and merchants, but early mornings, like in the above shot, give a more peaceful view.
