- Charles Bridge
- Čertovka canal
The picturesque canal branching off the Vltava River, often called "Prague's Venice," is surrounded by colorful townhouses and former watermills, creating one of the most romantic corners of the city. Its name comes from the "devilish" legends associated with the area. A walk along the canal or a short cruise offers a unique perspective of Prague.
- Prague's narrowest alley
A narrow passage, approximately 50 cm wide, equipped with pedestrian traffic lights. Although it's more of a curiosity than a street, it attracts tourists looking for unusual attractions.
