A fantastic stone bridge in Prague that spans the Vltava river and joins Stare Mesto (The Old Town) with Hradcany (The Castle Distict). It is lined with numerous statues of saints and apostles.

Charles Bridge (Karlov Most in Czech) featured prominently in the film "Mission: Impossible" and is a major tourist attraction by day. It is regularly lined with street vendors selling everything from jewelry to paintings, but is deserted by morning, making this the best time to explore it.

Such is the volume of tourists who cross the bridge each day that the Czechs regularly hold a spiritual "cleansing" of this bridge to ward off all the bad vibes the tourists apparently bring with them.
