I visited Prague in April of 08' and was very impressed by the beauty and mystery. It was cold and a little rainy so you might want to plan more toward the late spring and summer. What I found was amazing to consider that a little more than 17 years ago this town was under communist rule. The Czech's are an industrious people and it shows ...

I only went there because of the movie shooting of the film : "blade" when i was eight but i had such a great time taking pictures and buying things that i have never forgotten the bridge! it was amazing and it has a beautiful view! i didn't mind all the artists! i thought it added character to the bridge and an essence that cant be found any where else , but thats coming from a 13 year old.

This bridge is a lovely peice of architecture and has many interesting statues along the side. The one thing that lets it down is the number of artists, tat sellers and tour operators trying to get you to buy rubbish you don't want or need at massively over inflated prices. That said they weren't too pushy about it so you can choose to ignore them and enjoy your stroll.

Charles Bridge in Spring is a site worth seeing. It's worth a 30-minute slow walk, taking in the statues, buskers, craft booths and people. This is a lively, eclectic mix and gives you a feel for the energy of Prague. The view from the middle of the bridge of Old Town is spectacular and be sure to bring your camera.

Its a lovely city with lots to see and crossing the bridge only takes you to even more beautiful things. Its a huge part of the city of Prague. Dont miss it...and don't miss all the fun vendors all along the bridge!

The view from the Charles bridge is breathtaking. The diversity is plentiful. The history is rich. I enjoyed visiting with the local artists, buying hand crafted jewelry, charcoal sketches and glass. One feels safe there, no matter what time of day. Your walk along the bridge is shared by the historic gargoyle heads. Music from the talented violinists fills the air.

nice place to walk and waist your time along the bridge: statues with historical value,shopping, painters, artists
very special atmosphere

Prague is a beautiful city. If you like to walk a city and really get a feel for the people....don't miss this place. If you only have time for one stop...make it Prague. Wish we would have spent more time there instead of taking so much time to go to Vienna.

This was one of my favorite spots in all of Europe. Live music, lots of shopping, although much of it was pricey.

The bridge is full of great photo opportunities. Just hold on to your valuables..or rather just leave them at home/at the hostel or hotel!

If you go to Prague, you better not miss this.
