Prague Love / the World's Most Beautiful Fifty Cities

Charles Bridge One of the most spectacular bridges in the world, and one of the oldest still in use in Europe, the bridge spans the Vltava River connecting the new town and the old town, and is the most famous symbol of Prague. Since its construction from 1357 to 1402, Karluvmost (its Czech name) has witnessed royal processions, battles, bear executions (you can still see the spikes today), and even played a strange role in Hollywood blockbusters. Its biggest feature? The bridge is decorated with 30 statues representing saints. This famous bridge is a must-visit spot for any romantic trip to Prague. At dusk, you can stroll along the cobblestone pedestrian path, with streetlights twinkling and the statues on the bridge - as well as the distant towers - standing out particularly vividly against the backdrop of the setting sun.
