This was the best part about Prague, I lived in Vinohrady, so we passed this esclator about 5 times a day...totally insane. Also ever try running down these stairs...so much fun!
The one at Porter Station in Cambridge, MA,USA goes 105 feet below ground and my friend saw someone trip and fall down it. I don't want to think what happens if someone falls down this one.
I had to take this escalator at least once a day when I lived in Prague. I remember once the down escalator broke, there was no middle escalator, and a line formed to go down while they worked on it. I then saw two girls attempt to run down the up escalator - which was hilarious to watch, and they gave up after a few minutes.
Wow! Belgrade has a similar escalator, but only 65 m long. The first time I went down it, I nearly craped myself. I can only imagine what this is like.
I live in Prague, my mom's czech, though from Brno. Dad's canadian. i speak czech and english fluently. Funny, didn't know this escalator was the longest in Europe, I go by it every day to and from school. :)
I can't say that it happened on this exact escalator but it was in Prague some years ago, we were going back to our hotel about 7am after a night out and I just sat down on an escalator going down and I actually FELL ASLEEP. I remember the guys saying - OK, wake up, we're here!
at one point i thought about setting up camp and doing the rest later haha imagine trying to run up the downward escalators u'd be so worn out unless ur a marathon runner
I remember that......there was one in Frankfurt Airport in Germany was almost as long....I almost missed my flight because people didn't want to walk rather than just ride. Damn people and damn long ass escalator. Almost made me missed my flight.
OMG!! I thought I was gonna fall over when the camera looked down LOL!!!!! It was like 3D. This is an awesome video. And it even played music for you as you went down. America is way behind....
Very true. Moscow metro has the longest escalator in Europe. The longest in Western Europe is at Angel tube station in London too. 60 metres high and 100 metres long! =) They're all very impressive to watch all the same!
haha, i do go down, but its in the city centre, and it's FULL of people who just stand there, so i cant run down... I take the tram instead nowadays =D
@AutumnPolitics No it is not fake. I was in Prague in May 2010 for a short break and stayed just near Namesti Miru. I can vouch that it is real, it takes forever to travel it and if you're going up it really is not a good idea to turn your head and look back down - really scary feeling. The Prague Metro is excellent and very reasonable - if you buy a 24 hour ticket you can travel on the metro, trams and buses very cheaply. Plus, Prague is a beautiful city, worth the trip.
haha, no, but actually one of my friends Nikita was late and there were to many ppl...so he went to the thing in between and slid down....(but it was dejvicka --- a different station)
Woah, I've been there like 8 years ago, I remember it was extremely long but I didn't know it was the longest one in Europe. Anyway, it feels right as if you're going down to hell.
It occurred to me to wonder how long someone whose daily commute involved riding this escalator twice a day would spend on it in a year. Assuming 30 days vacation that's 335 days, 670 trips on the escalator. It's a 140 second ride by this video assuming they don't walk up or down to speed it up. That's 280 seconds a day. 280 times 335 is 93800 seconds. A person whose daily commute involves riding this escalator twice will spend a little over 26 hours every year on it.
Imagine you were going down stairs, you reached there but forgot your bag.. os you went back up and it wasn't there so you had to go back down to report it but forgot that you could only report it upstairs and then you had to go down again to get your ID from someone and go back up... That would be the saddest story of your life :(

Greetings from Prague :). Well done - I din´t know that we have the longest one :).
I can't believe that I just watched thus whole video....what has my life come to?!?!
i'd love to try and run down the up going one!
Imagine falling in an upstairs one... gotta hurt ^^
This was the best part about Prague, I lived in Vinohrady, so we passed this esclator about 5 times a day...totally insane. Also ever try running down these stairs...so much fun!
Finally, a video that is claims to be the longest esculator in Europe, and actually is! No clickbait here!
2:52 you must feel exhausted!
Imagine walking all those steps on a day when the escalator is out of comission!
Hahaha, I live in americka street and i have to use this metro everyday to go to school...and as a concequence I'm always late! =D
everytime I walk up this one, I remember its the longest one only in half :/
Why, at the beginning of this video, do I feel like I'm watching Cloverfield?
I was there last month! It's insane, there are a lot similar to that one in Prague, but this is one is the longest.

Wow, did I just spend 3 minutes of my life watching a guy go down an escalator?
cool i have been up that with the choir during young Prague, we were singing world in union :D
when you get on I cant see the other end
holy crap!! this is actually kind of hypnotizing! and nightmerish too hahah
Wow! Belgrade has a similar escalator, but only 65 m long. The first time I went down it, I nearly craped myself. I can only imagine what this is like.
Woah... I think I was actually on this one before hahaha. It took foreverrr.
I live in Prague, my mom's czech, though from Brno. Dad's canadian. i speak czech and english fluently. Funny, didn't know this escalator was the longest in Europe, I go by it every day to and from school. :)
"Aunt bunny fell down the steps..."
I can't say that it happened on this exact escalator but it was in Prague some years ago, we were going back to our hotel about 7am after a night out and I just sat down on an escalator going down and I actually FELL ASLEEP. I remember the guys saying - OK, wake up, we're here!
@foderahead before or after catching on fire :D
And so was walking on the escalator discovered. Praguers are a smart bunch ;)
imagine getting dizzy and falling down that...= dead. crazy shit. nice vid.
i've been there, This is cool :D
i like how it can either look like its going up or down
on it o-o
When I go there to work some time I run and is it good training :DD
At first it appeared to be going down (which is was), but then it seemed like it was going up. Crazyness.
at one point i thought about setting up camp and doing the rest later haha
imagine trying to run up the downward escalators u'd be so worn out unless ur a marathon runner
When the man in the yellow shirt just walks down, it totally messes up my mind because the escalator looks like it's going up. So weird! O.O
You should check the escalator of the "Linea 1" metropolitan line in Naples at "Policlinico" station, I think it beats that escalator
that 3 minutes of my life that i will never get back...
I remember that......there was one in Frankfurt Airport in Germany was almost as long....I almost missed my flight because people didn't want to walk rather than just ride. Damn people and damn long ass escalator. Almost made me missed my flight.
I finished a Whole Sandwich during the ride. :D
OMG!! I thought I was gonna fall over when the camera looked down LOL!!!!! It was like 3D. This is an awesome video. And it even played music for you as you went down. America is way behind....
It just makes you wanna say "now thats a sexy escalator !"
omg imagin sliding down that! it would be soo much fun.
I like the illusion that it looks like you were going up, but you're going down.
At 2:51 the narrowed part in front of you are blast doors. They are on many stations so that subway system can be used as huge nuclear shelter.
What a fucking nice optic ilussion. I thought he was going up!
This makes me dizzy:'D
"My Lord!" "Stormtrooper."
When do we get to the ride?
This IS the ride! Yipee!!!
0:32 "heh, don't you use the shovel. Derek are you sit there? what? "...sit there?" SIT THERE?! nehh..."
A tohle jsem skoro každý den ráno běhal do školy :)))
I went those escolators once! Once i saw when one guy put some potato chips and they slided to the end lol
@JRJordz - What made you realise it was going down?
Imagine falling down the escalator going up. It would take months, nay, years to reach the bottom.
Very true. Moscow metro has the longest escalator in Europe.
The longest in Western Europe is at Angel tube station in London too. 60 metres high and 100 metres long! =)
They're all very impressive to watch all the same!
lol, i would go there just for that! :D
...and If you will be in Prague sometime, you can try run up on the escalator. Very good morning training :-D
Just imagined if someone like me or anybody tripped and fell down an escalator this long!
you should see the escalator in vienna at the Karlsplatz station ....
imagine having to walk that when it brakes!
@griftorifto2 I'm pretty sure you're right. That explanation certainly rings a bell.
haha, i do go down, but its in the city centre, and it's FULL of people who just stand there, so i cant run down...
I take the tram instead nowadays =D
Tbh there is some stantions that are deeper than this one and escalator is longer. Like Park pobedi and some more stations in Moscow's metro.
"YAAAY ESCALATOR WORLD!"
"Where's the rides?"
"This IS the ride! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"
whoa about halfway through it I looked away then looked back and forgot if you were going up or down and couldnt tell O_O
@AutumnPolitics No it is not fake. I was in Prague in May 2010 for a short break and stayed just near Namesti Miru.

cool. I liked that piano soundtrack. Did you add it? Or is that "escalator music"? So this is the longest escalator in the EU? Cool.
~Ra'akone
If you look at the end of the tunnel it looks like one of those moving walkways at airports!
Well, that is three minutes I will never get back.
haha, no, but actually one of my friends Nikita was late and there were to many ppl...so he went to the thing in between and slid down....(but it was dejvicka --- a different station)
Woah, I've been there like 8 years ago, I remember it was extremely long but I didn't know it was the longest one in Europe.
Anyway, it feels right as if you're going down to hell.
And those beasts are pretty fast!
That would be EPIC to slide down
what type is it like is it stairs or normal road kinda type?
i remember this one,i was sick after that ride,especialy after you drink case of staropramen and halph of bottle of becherovka :)))
It occurred to me to wonder how long someone whose daily commute involved riding this escalator twice a day would spend on it in a year. Assuming 30 days vacation that's 335 days, 670 trips on the escalator.

280 times 335 is 93800 seconds.

How does this compare to the Starway at Universal Studios in Hollywood?
Does anyone know why eastern block metro stations were built so deep back in the early days of the Soviet Union?
in here finland we have almost the same length Escalator in helsinki
@DeLorean4 I think It probably has something todo with air raid/ nuclear shelters.
when do we get to the ride?
It must be quite the workout trying to go up the down escalator.
OMG sweet! i wish i could slid all the way down that that would be soo cool 1
WHEN DO WE GET TO THE RIDE?
@laaspen CN tower? toronto?
Now THAT was exciting!
Imagine falling down all the way on that escalator.
Wow. Long long tunnel underground. It'd suck to have the power go out!
wow can you imagine if someone fell over that. I dont think there will be any body parts left to reach the bottom
how did he stop the piano sliding down the escalator as he played??
Those were originally stairs, but they had to make it an escalator because too many people preferred simply jumping over the exercise
Imagine falling or tripping off the escalator. Might be "awesome" XD
"This is the ride. WEEEEE!!!"
Kudos if you get the reference
wow... thats one long escalator xD, imagine if those were stairs =P
new jersey in path train and in NYC transit stations has stairs like this very long
za tu dobu bych si stačil v klidu přečíst noviny, možná i po zpátku =D
That escalated quickly.
2:20 most interesting part of this video
Imagine you were going down stairs, you reached there but forgot your bag.. os you went back up and it wasn't there so you had to go back down to report it but forgot that you could only report it upstairs and then you had to go down again to get your ID from someone and go back up... That would be the saddest story of your life :(
wht abt if anyone falls from the top?
how much spins could you do on that b4 you are all the way down
