Charles Bridge
Best time to visit
Early morning at sunrise for soft light and far fewer people, making photography and a peaceful stroll much easier. Late evening after 9pm offers illuminated views and a quieter atmosphere.
Budget tips
Crossing the bridge is free; Old Town Bridge Tower charges a small fee and is often included with the Prague Card, so compare prices before you climb. Avoid paid 'private' souped-up tours on the bridge and buy snacks off the main span to save money.

About
快速信息: 晨光或夜色里，石像沿桥面静默排列，灯光和雾气把街景揉成一幅有质感的历史画。漫步时常能听到街头艺人的旋律与河风交织，约有三十座雕像各自承载传说与许愿的习俗。
亮点: 桥上有30座巴洛克风格的雕像，最著名的是纪念Jan Nepomucký的一座，铜牌被成千上万游客抚摸得闪亮如镜。许多17、18世纪的原作在20世纪被移入博物馆保存，桥上看到的大多是复制品，但清晨烤栗子的香气和手风琴伴着教堂钟声，能让人像穿越回几个世纪前一样悄悄发笑。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the bridge is uneven cobblestones with stairs at the ends.
- Shoot photos beside the St John of Nepomuk statue for the classic shot, or climb Charles Bridge Tower for elevated views of the river and castle.
- Avoid the central span between 10:00 and 18:00 when tour buses and cruise groups congregate, aim for before 8:00 or after 21:00.
- Keep bags zipped and valuables secure, and skip the overpriced souvenir stalls clustered in the middle of the bridge.

4.0Got to Charles Bridge at sunset, still busy but more relaxed than noon. Crossing is free, skip the portrait shops, the short Vltava cruise at dusk was worth the fee. (3 stars)
Arrived at 7am and had Charles Bridge mostly to myself. No entry fee and the sunrise views were worth the early wake up. (5 stars)
Visited Charles Bridge around noon and it was packed with tourists and vendors. No fee but souvenir stalls felt overpriced, the statues and people watching made it worthwhile. (4 stars)
