The entrance from the Castle (west) side of the River is Mostecká, a narrow street lined with souvenir shops that starts at St. Nicolas Church at Malostranské square. I liked the modesty of this store: "probably the best Czech Art Glass." 
Even this late in the year, the bridge was packed with tourists. I can't imagine what it must be like in the summer in the height of the tourist season. This is the tower at the eastern side.
The bridge is lined with ominous statues. Here's just one: The bridge is also lined with artists who will draw your caricature, as well as various musical groups, who will happily accept your donations or sell you their CD. Here's a brief clip of a couple playing traditional folk music.
