The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Malá Strana (Little Quarter)
Malá Strana is one of the oldest and the most beautiful neighbourhoods in the city. Nestled underneath Prague Castle it was once a part of the Kings route taken by future kings on their way to coronation - originating in the Old Town, crossing Charles Bridge and leading to Saint Vitus Cathedral. Cobblestone streets are lined with picturesque medieval houses, remarkable palaces, churches, kitsch shops and restaurants. Do not hesitate to turn a corner into any narrow street. You will suddenly find yourself in a calm and charming neighbourhood full of hidden gardens, parks with peacocks, fruit trees and ponds. As the neighbourhood is a home to Czech Parliament and many ministries, you can also run into well-dressed officials. If you are thirsty or hungry, it is the right place to be. Restaurants offer delicious traditional food and of course, the best Czech beers.
How to get there
- Lesser • 4 min walk

- LooeeseLeicestershire, United Kingdom19 contributionsNot really worth a visitI saw this on instagram and it sounded interesting, however as other reviewers have pointed out it is not a st, merely a passage to a restaurant. The queue was moving quite quickly so we thought we would check it out…but it was a bit disappointing.

We forgot to push the button and so had to wait a couple of minutes for the up stream of pedestrians. Luckily there wasn’t a big queue. It is steep and I would recommend only good for the agile. A buggy and dad were left up top, I noted. Down below is a bar and terrace looking out onto the river. We didn’t stop as we were then going to look at the Lennon wall.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Massive tourist trap. Not actually a street just the entrance to a restaurant, which to be fair has a great view of the river and Charles bridge. But when we went the restaurant was closed and with that, access to this 'narrowest street'. Unless you've got loads of time don't bother going out your way to see what is clearly just an attraction to encourage people to walk into their restaurant.

This street is so narrow, that only one person fits. Therefore a treffic light regulates in which direction to walk. There is a switch, with which you can demand green. There is nothing special to see, it is just fun. Downside there is a restaurant. As it is a dead end way, you have to go back. As there are stairs, it is not suitable for wheel chairs or strollers. To see it and walk down and back, 5 minutes are enough.

Avoid. Went down the tiny street to enjoy a drink along the river. It was lovely to start. However as we received the bill we noticed it was extremely expensive and only after we left we realised they chanrged us for 2 non-alcoholic beers in replacement to 2 Fanta oranges. As we went to pay a waiter come up, demanded we pay tip and when we said it was expensive he told us “we shouldn’t come to Prague city then”. This was extremely rude and he said it whilst walking away so everyone could here. This is very untrue as we have been in Prague for 4 days now dining and drinking in the city leaving tips and have never had a problem until now. It left a damper on the day afterwards and was extremely unnecessary.

Utterly pointless.
We stayed in a nearby hotel and wondered why there was a constant queue in the square beside our hotel.
Turns out there is a very narrow passage between two buildings that leads down to a restaurant with a view of the Charles bridge.
There is a small park beside the Franz Kafka museum (about 20 meters away) which also has a view of the river and no queue at all.
I blame Instagram.

I can only review our experience…. We stumbled across this ‘street’ and restaurant by chance. We didn’t realise the traffic light 🚦 system until down the bottom. While we were there we went to the restaurant and we thought it was fairly good value and service was fine. Toilets clean.

I am sure you will be walking in the area, even if you are visiting Prague for a short time. Because It is quite close to the Charles bridge and Certovka.
It is really, really narrow. Just about roomy enough for an average size person to squeeze through. I think that that in itself is funny. But better still are the traffic lights on top and bottom of the "street."
Why traffic lights ? Wait for green - your turn. Only one person at a time , up or down.
The narrow steps down lead to a small restaurant on the river. I have been there once or twice, great photo opportunity of the Charles bridge.
Food, drink and service just OK.

It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a tiny street with a traffic light for pedestrians. It’s a bit of fun and worth checking if one is passing by. There isn’t really anything to do at the end of the street apart from go to the restaurant or immediately return the way you came.

When in Rome…
We went for the entertainment factor, after reading reviews.
We forgot to push the button and so had to wait a couple of minutes for the up stream of pedestrians. Luckily there wasn’t a big queue.
It is steep and I would recommend only good for the agile. A buggy and dad were left up top, I noted.
Down below is a bar and terrace looking out onto the river. We didn’t stop as we were then going to look at the Lennon wall.
All in all a fun 10 mins, to say we’ve ticked it off our Prague visit!

Hello xxx
The street is not super narrow but to be honest, walking down it is not necessary- so go there and have a look for yourself :) even if just for a happy snap in front of it.
(Not choosing to walk down will not take away from your experience if you do not walk down it- it only leads to a restaurant anyway xoxox - also so many people only take photos and do not walk down so you should not feel anxious)
