You cross Charles Bridge at first light: statues stand like quiet witnesses while the Vltava nudges the riverbanks and the cobbles still hold last night’s rain. A local guide steers the group down narrower lanes, slips through the calm inner courtyard of the Klementinum, and pauses so you can breathe the city in—stone, bell, wind.
