Vysehrad Park

About

Vyšehrad, a historic fort perched on the Vltava River, is a crown jewel of Prague’s cultural heritage. Its stone walls and ramparts offer sweeping views of the capital, while inside, visitors can explore the Collegiate Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, the Vyšehrad Cemetery, and the labyrinthine casemates that once guarded the city. The site is open to the public free of charge, with guided tours and informative exhibitions available throughout the year. Whether strolling along the terraces, listening to legends about King Krok and Lady Libuše, or admiring art in the underground galleries, each moment at Vyšehrad feels both historic and alive. The park’s well‑maintained pathways and bird‑song make it an ideal place for family picnics, romantic evenings, or a quiet retreat from the bustle of Prague.”,
