“We arrived in Prague in the afternoon and only had a few hours to find something to do. We happened across the this experience and it was well worth it. A great first stop in the city on the iconic Charles Bridge with a wonderful view from the top. If you don’t mind stairs (138 and 147 steps, respectively, for each tower) then this is a great activity. You get a good overview of the city with helpful illustrations along the platform detailing nearby landmarks. We also met a very nice trainee named Lukas who gave us many lovely tips about what to do in Prague.”
