About Charles Bridge
- A 14th-century stone bridge lined with 30 baroque statues over the Vltava.

- Links the Old Town bridge tower to Mala Strana below Prague Castle.
Charles Bridge is Prague's iconic 14th-century stone bridge, lined with baroque statues and connecting the Old Town with Mala Strana beneath the castle. It is a pedestrian-only crossing thronged with visitors, buskers, and portrait artists from dawn to late evening, and its narrow, statue-lined walkway leaves little room to manoeuvre a suitcase. As an open landmark it has no lockers or cloakroom, yet many travelers cross it while moving between hotels on opposite banks of the Vltava. The cobbled approaches and the bridge's gentle rise make wheeled luggage awkward and slow. Storage partners cluster at both ends near the Old Town bridge tower and in Mala Strana, so you can walk the bridge, photograph the river, and climb the towers hands-free.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I store luggage near Charles Bridge?
Storage partners operate at both ends of the bridge, near the Old Town bridge tower and across in Mala Strana. You can drop bags a few minutes away and cross the bridge without them.
Can I take a suitcase across Charles Bridge?
You can, but the bridge is crowded and cobbled, so a wheeled case is hard to steer among the visitors and buskers. Most travelers leave luggage at a storage point at either end first.
I'm changing hotels across the river — where do I leave my bags?
Storing your luggage near one end of Charles Bridge lets you explore both banks without carrying it. Collect your bags when you head to your new accommodation in Mala Strana or the old town.
