Description
Discover this beautiful, but lesser known castle, in Prague and avoid the crowded tourist sights! The original medieval residence, set on a rock above the Vltava River, was later converted into a Baroque fortress surrounding a peaceful park that offers spectacular views of the city. Visit the neo-Gothic Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul to witness the beautiful Art Nouveau decor, walk through the adjoining Vyšehrad Cemetery - where the most prominent personalities of Czech culture, science and politics have been buried - and explore Vyšehrad’s hidden underground casemates.

Admission included120 min
Enter the gates of the baroque fortress and walk through the spacious park area which holds hidden treasures including the Romanesque Chapel of St. Martin from the late 11th century. Then visit the Collegiate Church of Saints Peter and Paul (attached to Vyšehrad’s Royal Collegiate Chapter) which was radically rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in the late 19th century and is decorated with Art Nouveau frescoes. Continue walking through the adjoining cemetery where you can see the graves of some of the most notable Czech artists such as Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana, Alfons Mucha, and Karel Čapek. Slow down and find out who they were and what was special about their lives. Take your time enjoying the stunning views of the city and if you still want to see more, enter the underground casemates inside Vyšehrad’s fortification walls housing some of the original Baroque statues from Charles Bridge!

Lovely stroll with lots to see
The fortress is not a single entity, it’s many walkways within walls including the Petra a Plava basilica. You can go onto some walls that give you views of the city, along with a cobblestone road that leads to a huge well preserved wall complete with beautiful gates that you can walk through and underneath the wall itself. There’s a large open air cafe there too also with views of the city. This is a lovely leisurely stroll through beautiful gardens, stunning views and lots of history.
Operator response

Fabulous views and building and grounds a more tranquil spot
The grounds the church and the cassments were very good . The views were excellent a very tranquil place. The guide was very knowledgeable, but for me personally I felt a little uncomfortable going around making the cemetery an attraction when it is still an active cemetery and maybe a little disrespectful. I would recommend this trip , it’s only my personal preference not to include this bit x

Vojta was our guide for this little walk. Visit of the castle and casemates included in the price, the activity is embellished with historical details and superb views of Prague from Visherad. Provide a little wool for the visit of the casemates, it is a little cool...
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad Vojta made your walk enjoyable and hope you liked the views from Vyšehrad.

WORTH THE TIME
This review is for the Casements and Gorlice only. I forget the cost but it was nominal and well worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The original statues from the Charles Bridge are stored there and very detailed and impressive. It was all part of an enjoyable afternoon in the Vysehrad complex.

Thank you for a nice review, we hope to see you again.

Retreat from tourist buzz while looking over the old and new towns
I got to the full guide throughout this thought-provoking and relaxing tour in and around Vysehrad. It was a relatively quiet venue away from the hustles and bustles of tourists, even though I am one of them. Toward the end, their own guide led all the others at Golice. Unfortunately it was done in local tongue which I did not understand at all. But I got to see the original statues of the Charles Bridge, which was a hidden jewel.
Operator response
Thank you. That is great review to read. Hope to see you again soon on one of our other tours.

Avoid this tour
The tour guide was a nice person. However The tour literally consisted of walking around the walls of the fortress killing 2 hours so the guide could hand us off for the Casemates portion. It was just my wife and I. We met the guide at the museum and she took us by subway to the attraction. We did go through the church with very little commentary and the graveyard where she did point out a few graves. Overall Little information was giving on the fort. Felt like she didn’t want to be there. She pointed out a few things here and there but really didn’t go into detail. The casemates was done by a different guide who had every bad English and mostly talked in Czech. That started when a lame video of some glass maker guy. She told to go to the subway and take the train back. On our own. We don’t speak or read Czech so that was not possible we used Uber instead.

Nice castle
This tour states that the entrance to Narodni Museum is included but we did not receive tickets to the museum. Also it says metro is included but we actually used our own metro tickets and the guide did not have to buy it ‘coz we already had tickets our own. The tour is informative and nice castle. Inside The Casemates and Gorlice have beautiful glass sculptures. The guide is knowledgeable and professional.
