Old Town Bridge Tower

  Rising above the iconic Charles Bridge, Old Town Bridge Tower stands majestically at the entryway to Prague's Old Town. Built in the late 14th century, this Gothic structure served both a decorative and functional purpose, acting as a gate for those entering the city. Visitors can climb its 138 steps to the upper tower for a panoramic view of Prague’s historic landscape, including the pristine Vltava River. In December, the tower beautifully complements the festive holiday markets below, making it a vibrant spot for exploration. While there, be sure to admire the intricate statues that adorn its facade and the breathtaking views of the city’s spires.
