Your Experience
Originally a medieval royal residence, Vyšehrad Castle faced devastation during the Hussite Wars in the late Middle Ages before being transformed into a formidable Baroque fortress. This historic site has withstood time and remains significant due to its place in Czech legends.
Your journey begins at the National Museum where you'll meet your guide for an engaging metro ride towards Vyšehrad Fort. Upon arrival, explore a vast park area that houses hidden treasures like the late 11th-century Romanesque Chapel of St. Martin. Proceed to visit the Collegiate Church of Saints Peter and Paul, linked with Vyšehrad’s Royal Collegiate Chapter. This church has evolved through various modifications since its 11th-century origins, now showcasing a neo-Gothic style from the 19th century along with exquisite Art Nouveau frescoes.
The exploration continues at the nearby Vyšehrad Cemetery, a renowned resting place for Czech luminaries such as Antonín Dvořák, Alfons Mucha, and Karel Čapek. Learn about their contributions through insights from your guide. For those intrigued by history's mysteries, explore the underground casemates within Vyšehrad’s fortified walls—comprising vaults and corridors designed for defense—and visit Gorlice to view original Baroque statues originally from Charles Bridge.
