A passage with pedestrian traffic lights
One of Prague’s smallest curiosities is a narrow, stepped passage off U Lužického semináře in Malá Strana. Its width makes passing another person difficult, so pedestrian traffic lights control the flow.
The passage leads towards the Čertovka restaurant and the river. It is a small detail in the neighbourhood rather than a long route: the attraction is the surprising scale of the space and the unusual signal at its entrance.
Taking a closer look
Follow the traffic lights and leave room for people coming the other way. The passage has stairs and very limited width, so it will not suit every visitor. You can appreciate the entrance and its setting without walking through.
Around the corner
Combine a look at the passage with a walk through the lanes below Charles Bridge. Our house on Mostecká is a convenient starting point for exploring this part of Malá Strana.
