This is a must see and best of all, it's free. It's worth going just to enjoy the skyline of Prague including the castle and the river.

The Charles Bridge in Prague is a very interesting and historic old bridge. It's one of those must see attractions and makes for a very entertaining walk across. It's always extremely busy and packed with tourists but well worth the effort.

The truth is that Karluv Most mostly is very busy,but why would that bother anybody?Are you not going to enjoy Tour Eiffel in Paris,¨cause it is sooo busy? It is in the most interesting part of the city,it is beautiful and view is great from there. One of the symbols of the city,so do not miss it. Just pay attention... More

There were a lot of people on the bridge, including street artists and appeared to be some renovating of some statues but like everything else in Prague is a must do.

During my four day visit the bridge was all but impassable and taking photos was a challenge due to the sheer number of tourists in the bridge. Interesting from what I could see.
