The distinctive Old Town Bridge Tower (Staroměstská mostecká věž) has been guarding the entrance to Prague's Old Town district for over 600 years. It also serves as a gateway to the historic Charles Bridge, which spans the Vltava River at this point. Marvel at the Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower in all its architectural glory. The balcony also offers a fantastic view.

The Old Town Bridge Tower is one of the most impressive Gothic buildings in the world. Emperor Charles IV had the tower built along with the bridge in the mid-14th century, based on designs by Peter Parler. The gateway to the Old Town was also conceived as a symbolic triumphal arch through which Czech kings would pass on their Royal Route. To enjoy the unforgettable view, you must climb 138 steps to the walkway.
