Charles Bridge Museum

Muzeum Karlova mostu

Close to the Charles Bridge, in several rooms of the original Crusaders hospital and Church of the Holy Spirit, is a museum dedicated to the second oldest stone bridge in the Czech Republic. You'll meet with the history of this one-of-a-kind place and its unique structure. This connector across the Vltava River transports us not only from the Old Town to the Lesser Quarter, but also to the time of the coronation of Czech kings, who rode across Charles Bridge along the Royal Route.
