Charles Bridge Hotels
Running Prague Castle a close second as the city’s most famous symbol, Charles Bridge (or Karlov most) was begun in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV and finally completed in the early 15th century.
516 metres long and nearly 10 metres wide, the Charles Bridge rests on 16 arches and is protected by three bridge towers, two of them on the Lesser Quarter side and the third one on the Old Town side. By day it is filled with artists, jewellery stalls and souvenir hawkers, who ply their trade in the niches created by the bridge-piers. At night, fire-eaters and musicians take over, creating a peerlessly romantic atmosphere.
