- JAKUB Vysehrad, which means upper Castle in English, offers so many legends, stories, and historical facts that I have a hard time to decide where to even start.
- Vyšehrad is the historical and mythical counterpoint to the Prague castle. It is the place where the oldest Czech legends are played out.
- According to local legends, Princess Libussa married a ploughman and they both founded the Přemyslids dynasty and the city of Prague in Vyšehrad.

- Welcome to my guide to Vysehrad Prague. It’s often called the second castle in Prague, and is a beautiful fortress and park just south of Prague city centre.
- Vyšehrad Gallery: Vyšehrad Gallery is located inside the remains of a medieval watchtower and hosts temporary contemporary art exhibitions.
- Vyšehrad is a nice attraction a bit outside the inner city of Prague. It can though easily be reached taking the metro to the stop Vyšehrad.
- Can anyone tell me how vast and with how much walking it is. Is the walk from Vysehrad Metro long and steep? If you limit the visit what is best to see and do here.
- The Vysehrad complex includes the massive fortress, a basilica, and the national cemetery, all of which are worth a look.
- Vyšehrad is an alluring and pleasant walk lasting about 2 hours. Even though it is situated close to the city centre, you will be in quiet surroundings out of traffic.
