Prague's Top 10
1
Whether you visit alone in the morning mist or shoulder your way through the af-
ternoon crowds, crossing Charles Bridge is the quintessential Prague experience.
Built in 1357, it withstood wheeled traffic for 500-odd years - thanks, legend claims, to
eggs mixed into the mortar - until it was made pedestrian-only after WWII. By day, the
baroque statues stare with indifference at a fascinating parade of buskers, jazz bands
and postcard sellers; at dawn, they regain some of the mystery and magic their creators
sought to capture.
