After reading my blog about this fascinating medieval city, you may already know its history and main sights. Now, let’s explore the hidden corners of Prague’s backstreets.
First, you should visit Nejužší pražská ulička (the Narrowest Street in Prague). Many people know it as one of the narrowest streets in the world. As you walk through this tiny passage, you reach a beautiful view of Karlův most (Charles Bridge). Especially at sunset, the view becomes magical. At this time, you can end your day here and enjoy the changing colors of the sky.
Then, just nearby, you can see Čůrající postavy (Pissing Men) by the Czech artist David Černý. This spot adds a fun and unusual stop to your walk. The sculpture shows two male figures urinating into a pool shaped like the map of the Czech Republic. Because of this provocative idea, many visitors find it surprising and highly memorable.
Finally, for something truly hidden, visit Grotta Umělá jeskyně (Artificial Grotto) in the gardens near Prague Castle. This man-made cave feels mysterious and almost forgotten, offering a quiet escape from the busy streets. With its stone formations and romantic atmosphere, it is a perfect place to slow down and discover known side of the city.
