    A great way to get a quick history of Praha (Prague). The stories and information were stronger in the first half of the tour than in the second, but it was still interesting overall. And just a heads-up: nothing is truly free. I might have chosen a different tour if I’d known there was an expectation to leave a fairly generous tip.

    Pawel was fantastic; he gave us a day full of little anecdotes about Prague. He also blended in perfectly with a group full of Spaniards. His Spanish is excellent. He gave us all sorts of ideas for exploring the city further. A real gem.

More information

The 516-metre (1,693 ft) Charles Bridge has connected the city of Prague's Old Town and Prague Castle since the early 15th century.

History

Completed in 1402 during the reign of Charles IV, the Charles Bridge replaced an old wooden bridge that connected the Old Town to the Malá Strana district. 

The Statue of St. John of Nepomuk

There are 30 statues in total placed on the Charles Bridge. The most famous of these statues is that of St. John of Nepomuk, who was thrown from the bridge in 1393 and subsequently drowned. Today, it is said that to bring good fortune (and to ensure that the visitor will return to Prague) to touch the statue.

How to visit the Charles Bridge

Of course, Prague's Charles Bridge is free and open to the public. To gain a deeper insight into the bridge and the city as a whole, why not enjoy one of Civitatis' guided tours or see it as part of a river cruise?
