The staircase "Old Castle Stairs" leads from the eastern end of the Prague Castle - from the so-called Black Tower to the area on the Klárov Square. The second castle staircase leads from the opposite western end of the castle to Lesser Town Square. The staircases offers a view of the Lesser Town and the panorama of Prague with the Vltava River.
