About Vyšehrad

At Vyšehrad, follow the ramparts to watch the Vltava open up between the neighborhoods. The complex brings together parks, fortifications and the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul; you can devote the visit to the outdoor paths or add interiors depending on the day's access.

The cemetery beside the basilica holds the memory of figures from Czech cultural and public life, among sculptures and arcades. Take in the monuments in silence. The underground tours are a different program and depend on which circuits are offered.
