Prague Hidden Gem Vysehrad Castle & Historic Fort with PragueWay

Escape the crowds and uncover Prague’s best hidden gem — the "High Castle" Vyšehrad, a historic hilltop fortress filled with legends, stunning views, and over 1000 years of Czech history. Just a 10-minute tram ride from the city center, this peaceful site was once a royal seat and later a mighty baroque fort. Today, it’s a symbolic and mysterious place beloved by locals. On this 2.5-hour small-group tour, guided by a passionate local expert, you’ll visit the breathtaking Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, the 11th-century Rotunda of St. Martin, the Czech National Cemetery, and the mythical Devil’s Column. Learn about Princess Libuše and her prophecy of Prague: “I see a great city whose glory will one day touch the stars.” Take in panoramic views of the Vltava River and New Town, and enjoy a relaxing break at a local café or beer garden — your coffee, wine, beer or soft drink is included. A perfect afternoon for curious travelers seeking real stories beyond the tourist trail.
