Great scenic view of the Vltava River and Prague Castle. It has a Gothic themed church and an underground Gothic catacomb tour filled with years of histories. The place also has a tour for the well preserved wall that was built for Prague's defense but never used.

Amazing location with cathedral at the nice calm park. Situated within the castle is the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, as well as the Vyšehrad Cemetery, containing the remains of many famous people from Czech history, among them Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Karel Čapek, and Alphonse Mucha. It also contains one of Prague's oldest surviving buildings, the Rotunda of St Martin from the 11th century.

Looking like something out of a fairy tale, the Vyšehrad fortress—literally translated as the "Upper Castle," or the "Castle on the Heights"—stands high above the Vltava River overlooking Prague. Known to have been in existence as far back as the 10th century, it has long been the subject of myth and legend, including the foretelling of an ancient princess of the rising of a great city around it. Once the royal residence of Vratislav II, Vyšehrad also played a role as part of the original Royal Route taken by kings about to be crowned, who would have to stop here to pay tribute to their predecessors (the route led from Vyšehrad to Hradcany). Although now largely ruins, the fortress is a wonderful place for a stroll or picnic and offers superb views of the surrounding city. During the summer months, the attraction's open air theater hosts musical and theatrical performances. English language guided tours can be arranged. Address: V pevnosti 159/5b, 128 00 Praha 2

A great alternative to the Prague castle. Not too touristy, so the prices are low. No lines and amazing vies of the Prague castle that you wont see anywhere else. Many many parks are also available to you at Vysehrad.
