Five narrowest streets in the world
In a world that is so vast and large, you can sometimes find very narrow passages between houses. These narrow streets are difficult to access, but they really adorn the territory. They are more common in European cities, and less often in Asian cities. We present to your attention the narrowest streets in the world.
Šprojerhofstrasse Street (Germany)
It is located in Reutlingen, Germany, on the land of Baden-Württemberg. The street is listed in the Guinness World Records as the narrowest in the world. Its width at the narrowest point is only 31 cm. It appeared in 1820 (but was originally erected in 1726) after a large-scale reconstruction of Reutlingen after the fire.
Klancic Street (Croatia)
It is located in the city of Vrbnik, Croatia. The city is situated at an altitude of 50 m above sea level, on a steep cliff. The width of this street, world-famous due to its small size, in the narrowest part does not exceed 43 cm.
L'Androuno Street (France)
France is one of the leaders in the list of the world's narrowest streets. In the commune of Gassin, located near the city of Saint-Tropez, there is the L'Androuno street. It looks like a narrow gap between the houses. Only the most slender people can walk down it: the width of the passage does not exceed 29 cm.
Parliament Street (England)
The street is located in the English city of Exeter. It appeared in the 14th century, in 1300. Its width did not exceed 64 cm, and its length is 50 cm. Initially, the street was called Small Lane, but later it was renamed. Only one slender and not too broad-shouldered pedestrian can go through it.
Streets of Fes el-Bali (Morocco)
The city of Fes el-Bali, Morocco, preserved the spirit of the Middle Ages. This is the largest territory in the world, free from transport, filled with ancient monuments and very narrow streets. In Fes el-Bali, there are 9,400 steep, narrow passages. They stretch all over the city creating a unique pedestrian space and luring the traveler into their labyrinths.
