   Charles Bridge

   We will promenade across the oldest bridge of Prague, the Charles bridge, decorated with 30 old picturesque statues and the most beautiful gothic bridge tower in Europe. The bridge has been standing since 1357, thanks to - legend says - eggs mixed into the mortar. If you touch the magic five star sign you can make a wish and the power of the saints will help you … Here, you can really breathe in the true atmosphere of Prague, get back into the times of golden Prague. Very romantic!! Maybe you will recognize the scenery from the first Mission Impossible movie. Near the bridge you can also see the area called Prague Venice with the side channel called Devil stream and the famous painted anti-communist John Lennon Wall. At the end of the bridge you can see the gigantic Klementinum, a former Jesuit College which serves as the National Library today.
