Traveler reviews
Gustavo Espinoza Jr
★★★★★a month agoThis is a hidden gem here in Prague as it is a bit out of the way from the city center but worth the trip. This is a really nice park that offers views of the southern part of the city. I found it very relaxing and peaceful and the best part was it seemed very local with not that many other tourists around. We were able to watch the sunset here before heading back to our hostel and we even got to check out some of the grounds, like the cemetery they have, the park, statues, etc.

★★★★★a month agoWalking through Vyšehrad with my wife was one of the most beautiful moments of our trip to Prague. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of its gardens, which are perfect for taking a relaxed walk and enjoying the impressive views of the city and the Vltava River together. The church is truly majestic, but the cemetery was what impressed us the most. Every grave, sculpture, and monument seems to tell a story, creating an atmosphere filled with respect, art, and emotion. As a tip, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and setting aside enough time to explore the entire area at a relaxed pace. There is a lot of walking involved and, depending on the route you choose, many stairs to climb and descend, so it is best to have a reasonable level of physical fitness, carry some water, and take breaks along the way. It is also a good idea to bring your phone or camera with a fully charged battery, because the views are spectacular and you will probably want to take plenty of pictures. We left Vyšehrad with a very special feeling. It is a peaceful, beautiful place filled with history, perfect for getting away from the busier parts of Prague and sharing an unforgettable walk. Without a doubt, it is one of those places we will always remember fondly. Highly recommended!
