• Cobbled stone deck the whole way across, so a sturdy stroller or a carrier copes better than small wheels
• St. John of Nepomuk, from 1683, is the oldest statue still standing in its original form, a good one for kids to find
• Bradáč, the bearded head set in the Old Town riverside wall, is a piece of the older Judith Bridge that once served as a flood marker

Charles Bridge is a 516-meter stone footbridge over the Vltava, linking the Old Town to Malá Strana. Thirty statues and statue groups of saints line its railings, and fortified towers stand at each end.

No cars have crossed since 1965, so kids can walk the whole span, and a stone staircase near the Malá Strana end leads down to Kampa.
