    If you have more than one day to visit Prague, then I’d say that Vysehrad is definitely worth visiting. If you’ve visited Prague Castle and all the main attractions in the centre of Prague, then Vysehrad will complete the picture of how Prague has developed as a town. Vysehrad is much less visited than the centre, so more often than not, you’ll hav...

    Vysehrad is the original ‘Prague Castle’ and the place where Prague was originally founded according to the old legends.

During the 11th century, the Rotunda of St. Martin was built, which is the oldest building in the fort. In the 11th century, it became the residence of the first Czec...

    According to legend, Vyšehrad was founded by Prince Krok when he was looking for a safer place to live than his current place in Budce. He sent out his people to find him a place where they could move to, and they found steep cliff above the Vltava River. The prince ordered the forest to be cleared and a castle to be built there. When Krok died, hi...

    I really like the quirky bits of the history, so my recommendation is to see the Rotunda of St. Martin (the oldest building in the whole of Prague), the Slavin Tomb in the Vysehrad cemetery (that basically reads like a ‘who’s who’ encyclopedia of well known Czech people), the original statue of St. Wenceslas from Wenceslas Square and the steps that...

    The Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, also known as the Vyšehrad Basilica, was founded by the Czech King Vratislav II in 1070-1080 as a Romanesque basilica, but it suffered a fire in 1249 and was later rebuilt in Gothic and then neo-Gothic style. The basilica has two towers that are 58 meters tall, making it one of the most significant landmarks ...

    The Vyšehrad Cemetery is right next to the Basilica of St Paul and St. Peter. It was properly established in 1869 and is the final resting place of many important Czech people, including writers, artists, composers, scientists, politicians, and other prominent figures. The cemetery was built on the site of an older cemetery that had been in use sin...

    The Rotunda of St. Martin is a Romanesque building located in the eastern part of Vysehrad park and you can’t miss it if you walk through the Leopold Gate from the Vysehrad underground station. It was built around 1100 and is the only completely preserved Romanesque building in Vyšehrad and one of the oldest in Prague. The rotunda was damaged and n...

    There are three main gates to Vysehrad Park, which were built to protect the castle and later the fortress.
