Overview
Older than Prague Castle, this 10th-century fortress is tied to Czech founding myths. Its ramparts offer open views of the Vltava and the city with far fewer tourists than the castle district. Vyšehrad Cemetery is the final resting place of Czech greats including Dvořák, Smetana, and Alfons Mucha. The Neo-Gothic Basilica of St. Peter and Paul and a Romanesque rotunda are also worth visiting. Park free (casemates and Gorlice exhibition about CZK 100). 10-minute walk from Metro Vyšehrad (Line C).
Opening Hours
Park: open 24 hours (casemates: 10:00-18:00, until 17:00 Nov-Mar).
