About Prague & Charles Bridge
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and crown jewel of Central Europe, has survived centuries as one of the continent's most stunning cities—spared from major war damage, its Gothic spires, Baroque palaces, and medieval streets remain intact as if frozen in time. At the city's heart stands Charles Bridge (Karlův most), commissioned by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1357 and completed in the early 15th century. This 1,700-foot pedestrian bridge spans the Vltava River, connecting Prague's romantic Old Town with the Castle District atop Hradčany hill. Thirty Baroque statues of saints line both sides—added between 1683 and 1928—each with its own legend, like the statue of St. John of Nepomuk where touching the bronze relief supposedly grants a wish and ensures your return to Prague. Walking the bridge means stepping into living history: street musicians playing classical Czech composers, artists sketching the castle, lovers adding padlocks to the railings, and dawn-breakers catching sunrise when the crowds disappear and the city belongs to dreamers. The view from the bridge is Prague's postcard—Gothic towers of the Old Town Bridge Tower behind you, Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral looming ahead, red tile roofs cascading down to the river, and swans gliding below. Prague survived the Thirty Years' War, escaped Napoleon's destruction, endured Nazi occupation, persevered through Communist rule, and emerged in 1989's Velvet Revolution as the "Paris of Eastern Europe"—a UNESCO World Heritage city where Mozart premiered operas, Kafka wrote existential masterpieces, and millions of visitors annually discover why it's called the City of a Hundred Spires (though locals count over 500). The magic intensifies at sunset when the bridge catches golden light, the castle glows orange against darkening skies, and gas lamps flicker on just as they did centuries ago. This poster honors Prague's enduring beauty, Charles Bridge's power as Europe's most romantic crossing, and those transcendent moments when you stand on ancient stones watching the sun paint medieval spires gold and realize some cities are simply too beautiful to be real.
