■ Charles Bridge
Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most popular tourist spots and a World Heritage Site. It was built in 1357 by Charles IV of the Holy Roman Empire. This bridge, which spans the Moldau River, attracts tourists from all over the world every day due to its deep history and magnificent appearance.
Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge still standing in Prague and the second oldest stone bridge in the Czech Republic. It is a beautiful bridge with graceful arches, with a total length of about 520m and a width of about 10m. Not only is the bridge itself magnificent and beautiful, but it is also a scenic spot where you can see Prague Castle beautifully. Its history dates back to the Middle Century, when the original bridge was destroyed in a great flood in 1342, so a new bridge had to be built. Construction began in 1357, but it was completed in 1402. It took about 50 long years to complete!
There are 30 statues of saints lined up on the railings of the bridge, which is a spectacular sight.

■ 100years old Graffiti at the tower
I took a full-view photo of the bridge from the tower at its base. This spot offers a perfect photo spot where you can see the entire bridge and even catch a glimpse of St. Vitus Cathedral in the distance—highly recommended for photography.
On the way up the tower, I came across graffiti that was carved a hundred years ago. It made me wonder what the person who left it was thinking at the time. After a century, even graffiti can gain historical value.
