From the top of the Mala Strana Tower, one can enjoy this wonderful view looking directly across the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) into the Old Town of Praha, Staré Město. At the far left is the Týn Church and Old Town Square (including astronomical clock). In the center, on the hill behind the Old Town Bridge Tower, you can see what the local people affectionately call "the rocket launcher". (It's a communication tower, actually.)

To the right (just out of view) is a quaint canal with a waterwheel, and nearby (overlooking the Vlatva River) one finds the home of Franz Kafka.

From the opposite side -- directly across the water, to the left, near Old Town Square and Josefov)-- one has this view looking back.
