Let´s go to see the place where mainly locals relax and get the energy. The place so much connected with the history of Czechs, but it has also great potency to address our visitorsVyšehrad castle as the rocky hill situated about 3 km South upstream from Prague castle was settled by the Czech sovereigns from about the middle of 10th Century and used by them for purposes of govern and coronation ceremonies at least until 14th Century. Later on, the remarkable and mysterious place was turned into the “city”, military fortress as well, when finally it was chosen by the Czech as the place where significant members of our nation as painters, composers, singers, actors, sculptors, writers and others are buried. In these terms this place is attractive to be visited for foreigners too. The visitors can pay the tribute to personalities as Karel Čapek, Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák, Jan Neruda, Božena Nemcová.
