Smíchovská lávka

The Smíchovská lávka is a steel pedestrian bridge that spans across the Praha-Smíchov railway station, connecting two residential neighborhoods on either side. The structure features steel beams with protective railings and is illuminated during evening hours.

The bridge was built in 1930 as the railway infrastructure in Smíchov expanded significantly. Its construction allowed residents to cross the growing rail network and improved connections between the divided neighborhoods.

The bridge location provides views of the Vltava River and Vyšehrad fortress, making it a reference point for local photographers and urban explorers.

Access to the bridge is available around the clock and provides direct connections to tram stops, bus stations, and the railway terminal. The walkways are well-maintained and lighting makes it safe to use even at night.

While crossing, pedestrians can watch trains passing directly underneath, making the daily rhythm of rail traffic visible from above. This feature turns the bridge into a vantage point for observing the bustling activity of the major station below.
