Vyšehrad

What a beautiful place! Similar to National Trust Parks back in the U.K... stunning scenery & views over the river & city. Lovely place to walk with greenery and the historical fortress walls and the church . We visited in the afternoon, and it wasnt busy at all. It was a refreshing change to be away from the hustle & bustle of the city. A bonus that we caught the sunset too. Highly recommemd a visit.

What a lovely place. We were super lucky to have very sunny weather while being in the fortress. It was so calm and fresh. I believe I preferred this less popular attraction over even the castle of Prague. I would definitely recommend not missing this gem.

Was not prepared for the beauty and peacefulness that was here. Absolutely stunning views of the city from the walls. The gothic spires of the Basilica, tower over the well kept graveyard. Many little cafes selling warm drinks - Grog being one of them that is a hot cherry liquor 🍒

A lovely and less tourist-packed place only a few minutes away from old town with metro. It is an ancient fortied hilltop with a rich history - the local princes ruled from here before they moved to Prague castle. It was largely destroyed in the wars of the 17th century. Nowadays it's more like a walled park with some old buildings and fortifications and it also contains the neo-gothical basilica. Nice views of the river and much less tourists than in the old town - definitely worth visiting!

Vyšehrad is a peaceful escape in Prague, ideal for anyone wanting a break from the busy tourist spots. The park is full of history — old gates, walls, small chapels, and a calm atmosphere. The impressive Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, in neo-Gothic style, stands at the heart of it all; entry is paid. Next to it, the Vyšehrad Cemetery holds the graves of many Czech artists and notable figures. From the fortress walls, you get a beautiful panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset.

Vyšehrad was one of my favorite places in Prague. It’s quiet, peaceful, and full of history. The old fortress, the church, and the cemetery are beautiful, and the views of the Vltava River and the city are amazing. I really enjoyed walking around the gardens and walls – it feels less crowded than Prague Castle but just as impressive. A must-visit if you want history, culture, and great views all in one place.

The fortress was a great destination to go to. It was not on our list of spots to head to in Prague but so glad we explored. Make it a must-see. Great park, interesting cemetery (be respectful), great views of Prague in the distance as the fortress is on a peak. Brilliant!

Stunning views of the city from both directions. The cemetary is equally beautiful with arches, mosaic backsplash frescos, creative monuments. The basilica is truly lovely. There are several cafes in the area as well. This is a wonderful historical park.
