As you cross the iconic Charles Bridge, you'll be greeted by this impressive Gothic gateway to the Malá Strana, or Lesser Town. Don't just pass through; the real magic is the view from the top. It's a bit of a climb up the 138 steps, but the panoramic scene of the Vltava River, the bridge bustling below, and the sprawling Prague Castle complex is absolutely worth the effort. It's the perfect spot to capture that quintessential photo of Prague's fairytale skyline.
