The Charles Bridge (Karlův most) is the most beautiful bridge over the Vltava River in Prague. Construction started in 1347 under the reign of King Charles IV. Charles Bridge is decorated with 30 baroque statues and marked by tall towers at each end. It's very busy, but pedestrian only, so make sure you go early or late in the day. The views across the Vltava River towards Prague Castle are spectacular at sunset, as you will see in this video.
