Vyšehrad is situated on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River and offers sweeping views of the city. The castle was used as an important royal residence before it was devastated during the Hussite Wars at the end of the Middle Ages and then later, converted into the Baroque fortress known today.  Meet your guide in the center of Prague right in front of the entrance to the National Museum at the top of Wenceslas Square. Following a short metro ride, enter the gates of the baroque fortress and walk through the spacious park area which holds hidden treasures including the Romanesque Chapel of St. Martin from the late 11th century. Then visit the Collegiate Church of Saints Peter and Paul (attached to Vyšehrad’s Royal Collegiate Chapter) which was radically rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in the late 19th century and is now decorated with Art Nouveau frescoes. Continue walking through the adjoining cemetery where you can see the graves of some of the most notable Czech artists such as Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Alfons Mucha, and Karel Čapek. Slow down and find out who they were and what was special about their lives. Take your time enjoying the stunning views of the city and if you still want to see more, enter the underground casemates inside Vyšehrad’s fortification walls, which are home to some of the original Baroque statues from Charles Bridge.

Explore both the city's of Prague old and modern architecture such as the famous Dancing House. During the tour you will also learn more of the history of Prague and the Second World War. Such as the story of the assassionation of Reinhard Heydrich. During the tour, you will stop at sights and places you normally might miss as a tourist on a regular tour.. For example, when we cross the Nusle Bridge you will learn that the bridge has a dark side to its history. At the end, you will arrive in the romantic castle of Vyšehrad, the second castle of Prague, by the beautiful Cathedral of Saint Pieter & Paul. Bordering the church, you will find a cemetery which has been the official national cemetery of the Czech Republic since 1869. Many famous Czech people are buried here, like composers such as Smetana and Dvorak, as well as famous artists like Alfons Mucha. The journey back will also be a great experience as you cycle along, the quays of the vlatava river Naplavka.
