Vyšehrad is one of two royal castles based in Prague, whose history is going back to 10th Century. During thousand of years it played several different roles.
From its early times the legends about the princess Libuše and her Přemysl, Horymír and his brave horse Šemík or that one about the devil and his stones.
The place – Táborská brána – gate as our meeting point, is the first entrance to Vyšehrad fortress from Vyšehrad metro station – red – C line, located in Southern edge of the fortress. If you are coming by the metro from South, from the outskirt of the city, e.g. Kačerov, Budějovická, Pankrác, Pražského povstání or other stops, then as the first you have to go under the body of the metro – few steps down and up and then exit, while if arriving from the opposite direction, stops as Muzeum, I. P. Pavlova etc., then you just walk out from the space of the metro. After having the metro behind your back you are ready to walk about 10 minutes for Vyšehrad – Táborská gate. As the first thing you will have on your left huge building of Congress Centre, after two or three minute walk leaving Congress Centre, turning gently to the right, following Na Bučance street about 200 m, then Lumírova about 50 m, then turn to the right to Na Pankráci street, which continues as v Pevnosti, when you are stopped by Táborská brána gate.
