Is Old Town Bridge Tower worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Old Town Bridge Tower still earns its price.

~190 CZK

Cheap, quick, and home to arguably the single best framed photo in Prague — the statue-lined bridge running to the castle. The catch: it's a tight 138-step spiral with no lift and a small, often busy platform, so it's a squeeze at peak times. Go early and you'll have the classic shot largely to yourself.
