Connecting the Old Town and Lesser Town, Charles Bridge is a beautifully gothic structure and lined with many famous statues of saints. Take a walk across the bridge hand in hand with your significant other and take in the picturesque views. Charles Bridge is popular with many tourists and it’s not hard to see why, at sunset it is particular romantic and is a popular place for proposals and engagements.

The castle

Prague Castle is really, really pretty. It is situated atop a large hill on the left bank of the Vltava River which runs through old town Prague. If you have time climb the bell tower which takes you to the highest point inside the castle, from their gaze upon the magnificent views of the castle and old town Prague.

Inside the castle is an area called “Golden Lane” which host small shops and originally served as housing for the palace guards, a Czech art museum , the throne room for the kings of Bohemia and a great hall which looks untouched in the 500 years it has been there.
