Prague’s Charles Bridge is a very popular attraction and is typically crowded throughout the day. Early birds might want to take a pre-breakfast stroll across the bridge to enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere. Alternatively, if you’re staying out late in the Old Town area, check out the bridge after dark when it’s also less crowded.

Charles Bridge is only partially accessible for visitors with mobility issues. The surface of the bridge is cobbled, making it difficult to negotiate in a wheelchair without assistance. It can also be very crowded. The bridge is reasonably accessible from the Malostranské náměstí tram stop, thanks to wide footpaths and some accessible kerbs.

Yes, some Prague river cruises take you beneath the Charles Bridge. At least 18 bridges span the Vltava River in Prague, so while the Charles Bridge may be the most famous, it’s far from the only one. Many cruises provide live or recorded commentary, telling you more about Prague’s long and colorful history.
