Take the paternoster elevator / Prague City Hall, Czech Republic

???? Prague City Hall, Czech Republic A paternoster lift is a passenger elevator that consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two persons) that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off any floor they like. The construction of new paternosters was stopped in the mid-1970s due to safety concerns, but public sentiment has kept many of the remaining examples open. By far most remaining paternosters are in Europe, with 230 examples in Germany, and 68 in the Czech Republic. Only two have been identified outside Europe: one in Malaysia, and another in Peru.
