Zámecké schody, Historic stairs in Hradčany, Czech Republic
Zámecké schody is a stone stairway connecting Hradčany district with Malá Strana and leading to Prague Castle. The flight passes through a densely built area with palaces and smaller buildings on both sides.
The stairway dates from medieval times and served as the main route between Prague Castle and the Lesser Town for nobility and clergy. Over the centuries its structure remained largely unchanged and it stayed a key connecting path in this area.
The stairs wind through a quarter where baroque facades and traditional houses shape the streetscape. Visitors walking here experience the historical residential structure of Prague's Old Town directly.
The stairs have several resting spots and handrails along the ascent, which makes walking easier. Public transportation stops are nearby, so reaching the location is straightforward.
With each climb upward, different views of Prague's red rooftops and church spires appear, which is why photographers often seek out this spot. The shifting perspective makes each section of the stairs a different experience.
