Svetozor Passage

Světozor Passage is one of the characteristic arcades in central Prague, near Wenceslas Square. It links busy streets and offers a convenient pedestrian passage.

The arcade is home to the Světozor cinema, known for its programme of art-house films and festivals, as well as popular eateries, including traditional patisseries and ice-cream parlours.

The place has kept its local character and is often visited by residents, offering a less touristy alternative to the main shopping streets.

Satori Cities

On a Satori Cities walk, Svetozor Passage is not treated as a box to tick. It is a place to notice covered light, shop windows, and indoor echoes, to slow the body down, and to receive the historical context only after perception has done its work.
