- GAR970 contributionsThis cemetery is worth a visit, it was pretty quiet which was nice, and shady which is good in the heat. I wish there was some signage with more information thoughWritten July 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RJN612Pottsville, PA509 contributionsWhat can I say? I enjoy cemeteries. I love the history, the variety, the beauty and the vibe. This one does not disappoint. It is not overwhelming but full of many interesting and ornate graves. It's just part of a great way t spend an afternoon in the Vysehrad area.Written September 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bucky1836Madison, WI228 contributionsEntrance is just across the street from the Zelivskeho subway stop. Yes, Kafka's gravesite is here, but I would recommend strolling around other parts of the cemetery first to get some context. You'll notice how many markers and memorials have dates of death between 1939 and 1945. And then think how many more graves there would have been if so many hadn't been killed in camps during the Holocaust. Remember that this is closed from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning and men should cover their heads.Written June 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leah AJerusalem, Israel40 contributionsMost of the reviewer here confuse the Old cemetery in the Jewish quarter with the newer cemetery in Zizkov.
The Zizkov cemetery is located near the TV tower.It used to take up the entirely area of the adjacent park and the area on which the TV tower is built.
Unfortunately most of the cemetery was destroyed under communism and what is left is a small part.
Of note in this cemetery is the grave of the Node BYehuda the illustrious rabbi of Prague and Jewish scholar and his family.
Also don't miss the black monument to the side. During a reconstruction of one of Prague squires it became apparent that the street was paved with blocks varved out of Jewish Grave monuments. The blocks were gathered together to build this haunting memorial to antisemitism.Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

During my visit I did not feel any negative waves maybe because of nice sunny weather when I was there. All graves are covered by ivy except one still erected grave of Maria Tuma died at the age of 29 years. Around 5000 people buried there. The walk around was great and relaxing with aura of mystery, melancholy and eerie.
For film lovers, especial Amadeus movie, some parts were shot there.
To get there you can take a car and park around in the entrance or take a bus 236 to bus stop U Drahane and walk via gardening colony to the entrance.Written October 22, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But it's intimate, quiet and peaceful and you won't see a single soul here. Building new and stable chairs/benches was a great idea.Written December 27, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
