Vyšehrad Park
About

Vyšehrad Park in Prague is a historic fortress complex perched above the Vltava River, offering sweeping views and a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle. Once the seat of Czech royalty, Vyšehrad is steeped in legend—said to be the site where Princess Libuše prophesied the founding of Prague. Today, visitors stroll through leafy paths lined with sculptures, explore medieval ramparts, and admire the Neo-Gothic Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, whose twin spires dominate the skyline. The adjacent Vyšehrad Cemetery is the final resting place of national icons like Antonín Dvořák and Alphonse Mucha. The Romanesque Rotunda of St. Martin, Prague’s oldest surviving building, adds to the site’s architectural richness. Easily accessible by metro or tram, Vyšehrad Park blends myth, history, and nature in a serene setting that invites reflection and discovery. Whether for a quiet walk, a cultural deep dive, or panoramic photography, it’s one of Prague’s most evocative and rewarding destinations.
