Self-Guided Walking Tour of Prague: Charles Bridge to Charles Square<\/strong>
\nStart this Prague tour on the Mala Strana side of the the Charles Bridge.<\/p>\n

Walk along the bridge and admire the statues and the views of Castle Hill. When you reach the end, hop on tram #17 going down the river towards Vysehrad. <\/p>\n

Stay on the tram for awhile. On your left you’ll pass the National Theater, the Emmaus Monastery, and Frank Gehry’s Dancing Building (aka the “Ginger and Fred Building”).<\/p>\n

Get off the tram at Vysehrad. You should be right across the street from some great Cubist houses. Check them out and then head up the hill to the church and cemetery (there will be signs\/stairs). <\/p>\n

Visit the Gothic church and admire the art nouveau headstones in the graveyard. When you’re done there, hop back on the tram and take it back toward where you came from.<\/p>\n

Get off the tram at the Emmaus Monastery and take the street to the left of it. Walk down the street going away from the river. It should dead-end by an old church. <\/p>\n

Take a left and walk up to Charles Square, which is one of the largest in Europe. It is particularly pretty in the springtime, when the flowers are in full bloom.<\/p>\n

Spend some time walking through the square and then continue to your next destination.<\/p>\n
