I like this place, always go there during summers. Nice beer garden. Good place for day time walk. I would like it if they have some resturants there!

Pretty view from the hills - everything is spread before the eyes so clearly. Cosy streets, beautiful small buildings.

We really enjoyed walking through this scenic area, with its lovely views across the river and landscaped areas to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of the main city. There are cafes and beer gardens in the area, which on a chilly afternoon provided welcome refreshment and would be a great way to while away a summer's evening.... More

This was one of the highlights of Prague for me, beautiful area. Make sure you spend a few hours wandering the grounds.

The views from the top of the walls is amazing. Has a 10th century building, some of the original statues from Charles Bridge, and some incredible sculpture in the cemetery. It is also where Antonin Dvorak and Alphonse Mucha are interred.

We went there around 9am in the morning. Most of the places were open at 10am. So, we walked along the wall which has very nice views of the Prague. There are many look-out area to see the Prague from different angles. The entire complex is so peaceful and charming. We also visited the church which is very beautiful. do... More

There are great views of the city and river from the walls. The path and stairs from the river might be a little steep for some, but there is a back road that is easier. The church is worth the 30CZK (the area is free), though there are more impressive churches in Prague such as St Ignatius. However, the church... More

Recommend getting just a bit out of town to visit the Vysehrad area. The park is lovely with a beautiful gothic church (only 30 Kc entrance--well worth it). The views of Mala Strana and the river are great. It was a peaceful diversion from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is a short walk from the Vysehrad metro... More

It was a bit out of the way but I'm so glad I visited Vysehrad. It was like another town within Prague itself full of green spaces and great views of the city. A true hidden gem on Prague in my eyes.

Take the red line metro and get off at Vysehrad stop and its a 10 minute walk to the walls and the start of a very nice park. Originally this was a fortress complex guarding the approach to the bend in the river and there are some wonderful views down the Vltava looking away from Prague where the city thins... More
