Charles Bridge is one of the most beautiful structures of its kind in the world and Prague’s no. 1 tourist attraction. If you still haven’t had the chance to visit the Czech capital and want to enjoy this bridge in its full glory without big crowds around you, here’s how you can pull it off.
Pick Right Month
Prague is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, so it’s crowded pretty much all the time. The same goes for Charles Bridge, and visiting it in the winter is the best way to avoid big crowds. If you’re not in the mood for the cold weather, early fall is the best option.
Get There Early
The merchants usually make their way to the Charles Bridge around 9 am, and this attraction is pretty packed from that point on. Getting their early in the morning is the best way to avoid the crowds, but you can also take a nice stroll down the bridge in the evening after most people leave.
Avoid Busy Hours
If you’re not really an early bird, but still want to avoid other tourists, try to skip the time slot between noon and 3 pm. Also, keep in mind that the bridge will be filled with tourists heading here from their visit to the Astronomical Clock around 5-10 minutes after the stroke of every hour.
