Stone Steps is a hidden gem in the Old Town, known for its historical significance. This narrow and steep street has a long history dating back to 1527. It was once used to access the White Furta and the Vistula River. In fact, in 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte himself walked along Stone Steps, accompanied by Prince Jozef Poniatowski and other French marshals. The street has been immortalized in paintings by artists, further emphasizing its historical importance. However, despite its rich history, the presence of graffiti detracts from its overall charm. While it is worth a visit for its historical value, it may not live up to the expectations of those seeking a more mysterious and impressive experience. Nonetheless, for those who appreciate staircases and the stories they tell, Stone Steps is definitely worth exploring.

One of the shortest streets in the old town and one of the most historical. It is known that in 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte himself, accompanied by Prince Jozef Poniatowski and several marshals of France, walked along Stone Steps Street to the Vistula. .. Read more »She was painted in paintings by artists. And it was after reading stories and legends that they expected to see something more mysterious and solid. Graffiti greatly spoil the impression and make some kind of untidy, in general, of course, it’s worth a visit due to history, but personally it didn’t impress us as much as we wanted. More was expected.

Kamienne Schodki Street in the Old Town - is a hidden, narrow and steep downtown street, connecting the higher part of the Old Town with the areas on the Vistula River. It is located on a slope and hence its steep slope. It runs from ul. Krzywe Koło .. Read more »to ul. Brzozowa (upper, older section) and further, with the axis shifting to ul. Bugaj (lower section, built in the 18th century).
The first mention of the street dates back to 1527. Stone Steps formerly led to the White Furta, located in the city's defensive walls, and then to the Vistula. The street was used to carry water from the river.
Interestingly, in December 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte, accompanied by Prince Józef Poniatowski, watched the Vistula River from Kamienne Schodki Street.
