Beschreibung
Discover Prague’s best hidden gem — Vyšehrad Fortress — on a 2.5-hour small-group tour filled with history, legends, stunning scenic views, Czech national heritage and a local drink included.
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Czech legend, history, and charm with our "High Castle" Vyšehrad Fortress Tour — a journey through one of Prague’s most captivating and symbolic places.
Just 10 minutes tram ride from the bustling center lies Vyšehrad, a peaceful hilltop fortress offering breathtaking views and over a thousand years of history. Once the royal seat of Bohemian dukes, later a powerful Austro-Hungarian fortress, today it stands as a spiritual landmark filled with myths, national pride, and timeless beauty.
It was from here that the legendary princess Libuše made her famous prophecy about the future city of Prague: “I see a great city whose glory will one day touch the stars.”
On this 2.5-hour small-group afternoon tour, you’ll explore:
• The majestic neo-Gothic Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, including entry to its extraordinary Art Nouveau interior, adorned with Alfons Mucha–inspired frescoes
• The 11th-century Rotunda of St. Martin, Prague’s oldest surviving church
• The Czech National Cemetery, final resting place of cultural giants like Dvořák, Smetana, and Mucha, or the Communist regime’s heroic victim Milada Horakova
• The mysterious Devil’s Column, cloaked in myth
• Quiet paths with sweeping panoramic views over the Vltava River, Prague Castle, and other Prague neighborhoods
To top it off, we’ll pause at a cozy café or scenic beer garden for a moment of local flavor — and your wine, beer, coffee or soft drink is included in the tour price.
At PragueWay, we’re truly passionate about this extraordinary place — and we can’t wait to share it with you. Whether you’re a history buff, a fan of folklore, or simply looking for a quieter side of Prague, Vyšehrad will leave you inspired and amazed.
