Vyšehrad

  Vyšehrad rises above the Vltava River in the Nusle district of Prague, offering a rich blend of history and panoramic views. Dating back to the 10th century, this fortress complex includes the impressive Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, known for its twin spires that reach 82 meters high. Today, Vyšehrad serves as a peaceful park and historical site, ideal for strolls and picnics, especially vibrant in May when the cherry blossoms bloom. Visitors can explore the beautifully manicured gardens, ancient ramparts, and the notable Vyšehrad Cemetery, the final resting place of many Czech luminaries. Whether you’re admiring the architecture or enjoying the scenic paths, Vyšehrad is an essential part of the Prague experience.
