This place is wonderful. I visited in May on a hot, sunny afternoon. It's like being in a beautiful forest, that happens to be a cemetery too. The place is a working graveyard, so discretion is called for, because as you wander around, you'll see people tending to their loved one's graves. The place is very overgrown, and awash with...

If you are familiar with Czech history, it can be a nice walk. You will need a map and some directions to visit the graves of the famous Czech personas. If you just like cemeteries, this place will be ideal, since its a fairly large complex. Do not miss the nearby New Jewish Cemetary.

Well most people would not think of "touring" a cemetery, but Prague 2 Vinohrady's Olsanske Cemetery is absolutely beautiful and something to see if you have the spare time. A walk through here is not only peaceful but also insightful as to Prague rich 19th and 20th century.

We had some spare time one morning, and deceided to visit the Olsanske Cemetery. Very large cemetery, very old, lots of Ivy climbing over the graves. Some of the headstones are absolutely beautiful, many tell stories about the person resting there. Many large angle statues, and special engravings on the head stones. Accessable by tram #6 (station Flora , cemetery... More

This cemetery is huge. It's so special in the fall to see the elderly ladies fastidiously cleaning the graves of their loved ones--they make a day of it. There is a rich history here (Fanz Kafka is buried here), but it is enough to just walk through and admire the gorgeous statues, and feel the enormous stone weight of the... More
