About the Vyšehrad Area
Historic, tranquil, and panoramic
Vyšehrad means "upper castle." It's a 10th-century fortress perched on a rock over the Vltava. This was the first seat of Czech dukes. Now, the old walls surround a massive, quiet park. It feels remote. It's a world away from the noise of the city center. While everyone else fights for space at Prague Castle, come here. You'll see locals jogging. Others walk dogs on the ramparts. It's in Prague 2, just south of New Town. Look for the twin neo-Gothic spires of the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul. They dominate the hill. The streets drop steeply toward the water. It's perfect for history nerds and couples. Visit the military casemates. Grab a beer at the garden on the walls. It's the real Prague. It's authentic. It's peaceful. Worth every forint.

Local Tip
Bold heading: Take the metro to avoid the climb: Use the red Metro Line C to the Vyšehrad stop for a flat walk. Arriving by tram at the riverbank requires a steep hike up the hill.
