Here's A view of the Mala Strana skyline from the Jiraske Bridge (aka Jirsakuv Most),
shot from the Nove Mesto (New Town) side of town.

Left to right: Mala Strana Water Tower (the white tower with a red pointed roof),
the Children's Island (middleground), and the Petrin (Pet-zhin) Tower atop the hill.
It is Prague's smaller version of the Eiffel Tower. The white wall leading up to the Tower
is the funicular railway that runs up the hill. It is convenient to take this funicular
if you don't want to climb Petrin Hill's 299 steps.

Notice the architecture of the buildings. Prague is like a miniature Vienna.
The buildings, churches, and bridges look very much alike.
