Another place with a beautiful view of old Prague, if you can get closer to the walls through the crowds of tourists. The best time to enjoy the view in peace is either early in the morning or after the Prague Castle closing hours. The platform completes the climb on the Old Castle Steps, which lead from the Lesser Town to the area, which is called "Na Opyši" and subsequently to the eastern gate of Prague Castle. "Opyš" is an old place name appearing already in the 12th century. The Old castle stairs were built probably as early as the 16th century, but the street name has been used since 1829 and it is probably derived from the Old Road, which ran above the castle in the 9th century. The whole staircase is about 150m long and has 121 steps. During its existence it has undergone several reconstructions, the last one was in 2009, when archaeological research was carried out here.

Staré zámecké schody byly postaveny snad již v 16. století, ovšem uliční jméno je používáno až od roku 1829 a je zřejmě odvozen od Staré cesty, která vedla nad hrad souběžně již v 9. století. Celé schodiště je dlouhé asi 150m a má 121 schodů. Za dobu své existence prošlo několika rekonstrukcemi. Poslední proběhla v roce 2009, kdy zde byl proveden i...
