Charles Bridge
The oldest bridge across the river Vltava is also the most visited bridge in Prague. Under the reign of king Charles IV, the construction began in 1357 and was completed in 1402. The bridge replaced the original Judith bridge which used to connect both sides of the river before it, but was severely damaged by the 1342 flood.
Originally called “Stone Bridge” or also “Prague Bridge” up until the 19th century, when the “Charles Bridge” name actually took on. Up until 1841, the Charles Bridge was the only way to cross the river in Prague and it was also an important connection between Prague Castle and the Old Town. Thanks to this bridge, Prague has also become an important trade route and an intersection between eastern and western Europe.
Petřín Watchtower
Almost 60 m tall watchtower with its base at 324 m elevation above sea level is one of the most dominating view points of Prague. The watchtower nicknamed Prague's Eiffel Tower is located at the Petřín hill, within the beautiful Petřín gardens and offers an unbeatable view of the entire city.
