- SDS769Brooklyn, NY411 contributionsFun place to stop for 15 minutes.l to take pictures and see the statue move.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN6,620 contributionsVyšehrad Park is off the beaten path allowing for a nice break to get away from the tourist crowd. There are as many locals as visitors here. Vyšehrad is very meaningful to the Czech nation as it is the legendary location of first settlement in the city that later became Prague. A fortress was constructed here in the 10th century although little remains from that time except for the Romanesque Rotunda of St Martin from the 11th century. The Habsburgs built a military installation here and the Tabor Gate and Leopold gate along the with the city walls can still be seen. However, the park offers photogenic views of the Vltava River and is also the site of the Neo-Gothic Basilica of St Peter and St Paul built between 1887-1903 and the adjacent Vyšehrad Cemetary, which is the National Cemetery and is the final resting place of many famous Czechs. Vyšehrad can be reached by taking the subway here and you can return by tram along the Vltava River after descending the stairs to the Vyton neighborhood. I enjoyed coming here but it is not a must-see sight but certainly a worthwhile activity if you have an extra day and have a couple hours to spare.Written October 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Busker999Tonbridge, UK1,643 contributionsFor some reason, less tourists here than the castle or strahov - please don't forget to come to loreta, it's fantastic and gorgeous.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo PChard, England, United Kingdom86 contributionsThe sculptures are thought provoking in the political statement the artist was trying to make. The movement was interesting too.
I think our experience was enhanced by the fact that we visited with the guide from our 3 hour walking tour, on the way back from the castle to old town. Honza explained the theories about the artists inspiration and other details.Written December 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ERFSU82Wellington, FL2,001 contributionsInteresting piece of art that’s almost unnoticeable unless you’re looking for it. Worth seeing if you’re in the area. It’s in Old Town, not far from the Astronomical Clock.Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbywonSydney, Australia13,618 contributionsLocated on the edge of the Vitava River inside Kampa Park. The larger than life sculptures are Dystopian with faces as per the photos.

- aida68Miami, FL797 contributionsThis is a place to reflect. The site where Jan Palach killed himself on January 16, 1969, after the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia to destroy the hopes of the Czech people during the Prague Spring. It was very emotional for us.Written October 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bertie1224Northamptonshire, UK1,448 contributionsYou have to know that this piece of art is hanging from the ceiling of the Art Nouveau Lucerna Palace in Prague as is unlikely you’ll chance upon it. Another work created by Prague-born artist David Černý. It’s worth a tour of Prague just to see his work. It portrays Wenceslas astride an upside down perhaps dead horse? Not sure what the meaning is but it is a sight to behold. If you are in Prague seek it out.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN6,620 contributionsCharles Bridge (Karluv Most) is one of the most beautiful and historic bridges in Europe, built by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and completed in the 1400s. The bridge is lined with multiple statues and one of the most memorable is that of St John of Nepomuk. A wooden version of the statue was the first statue erected on the bridge dating back to 1657. It remembers St John of Nepomuk who is one of the patron saints of Bohemia and who was the Archbishop of Prague. He was martyred in 1393 when he refused to divulge the confession of the Queen of Bohemia and King Wenceslas IV had him tortured and thrown off the Charles bridge into the Vltava River near the current location of the statue.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gareth M12 contributionsLocated at the lower part of Zizkov, Vitkov Hill features the Czech National Monument which features the equestrian sculpture of Jan Zizka (the district bears his name) a national hero and warrior of the proto Protestant Hussite movement who defeated the Papish forces of King Sigismund in 1420 at the Battle of Vitkov Hill.
The building to the rear was formerly a musoleum where the totalitarian communist leaders were interred after death. Their remains have now been removed and the building is now the National Military Museum and a very interesting hour or two can be had there.
If you're staying in Zizkov you can visit the monument by walking up the hill from close to Prokop Square, there are park pathways leading to the top of Vitkov hill or there is a more direct and steeper (not too steep) short-cut.
There are wonderful views of Prague from the hill and the park walkways are pleasant and safe.
If you're traveling in from central Prague you can take the tram numbers 5, 15, 26 to Lipanska or Viktoria Zizkov which are the nearest stops.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, it's looking a bit tired and uncared for now. There's an awful lot of graffiti and rubbish in the area around the metronome, although the park looks nice enough as are the views over the city and river. It's a short steep climb up steps or a path to get to the metronome.Written January 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tiberiu_BaranyiTimisoara, Romania18,192 contributionsIn the Vaclav square - in the center of Prague - there is the statue of King Wencelas - or Vaclav (the "Good") - duke/king of Bohemia in the early 900's.
King Vaclav - was sanctified by catholic church and became the patron saint and protector of the Czech people.
He has a very interesting - and tragic - story as he got assassinated by his brother Boleslav the "Cruel".
The monument that can be found today in the center of Prague consist of several statues - on top is the equestrian statue of King Vaclav - and to his left (as you face the statue) is his wife Ludmilla (she had also a tragic fate, being also assassinated).
The monument is definitely suiting the memory of the great King - and when you visit the Vaclav square you can definitely stop here for a few pics.Written January 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
