Although you won't find a castle exactly like the Prague castle, Vysehrad is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful, peaceful alternative to the tourist smothered Prague Castle. It has a cemetery with the most famous Czechs and a beautiful lookout over the entire city of Prague.

a lovely place! quiet and perfect for a nice walk through the gardens up to the Church. The entracne to Paul and Peter's Cathedral is 30 KC and the rest are free of charge.

Vysehrad and the park surrounding the fortress are definitely worth a visit but we wouldn't have gone there a second time if we hadn't been recommended a visit of the casements.

This was a great place to spend a half day walking around and looking at the views; Jan Purkynge buried here!

Not many tourists here, so a pleasant place to walk around. See the graveyard with some very unique monuments, famous Czechs, and the cathedral. We were there on Sunday morning and had to leave to get somewhere else,. I would have enjoyed spending more time here.
