Narrowest alley in Prague: photos, reviews

About

In the 15th century, Prague experienced two devastating fires that caused significant damage to the city. Following these events, to somehow mitigate the fiery elements, special narrow passages between buildings were devised. Five centuries ago, there were several of these passages, but only one has survived to the present day, and it is hailed as the narrowest street in Prague, also known as Vinárna Čertovka. The width of the passageway is just 70 cm.

This street got its name due to the nearby winery Čertovka, which in turn, was named after a branch of the Vltava River flowing nearby. According to legend, this rather unusual name for the river branch came about because a very quarrelsome, ill-natured washerwoman, who was well-known among the locals as Čertovka (The Devil), used to come here every day.

Special attention should be given to the rules for crossing the street. At both ends of the street, there is a traffic light that signals whether the passage is occupied or free. To avoid any mishap, it is allowed for only one person to move through the alley at a time.

A cool experience if you are nearby, wouldn‘t walk an extra Mile for this to be honest.

Original calle que da a un restaurante y que dicen que es la calle más estrecha del planeta, la curiosidad principal es que dispone de un semáforo que se pone en rojo o verde cuando sube o no gente desde el otro extremo
