Fabulous views and building and grounds a more tranquil spot

The grounds the church and the cassments were very good . The views were excellent a very tranquil place. The guide was very knowledgeable, but for me personally I felt a little uncomfortable going around making the cemetery an attraction when it is still an active cemetery and maybe a little disrespectful. I would recommend this trip , it’s only my personal preference not to include this bit x

friendly

Vojta was our guide for this little walk. Visit of the castle and casemates included in the price, the activity is embellished with historical details and superb views of Prague from Visherad. Provide a little wool for the visit of the casemates, it is a little cool...

WORTH THE TIME

This review is for the Casements and Gorlice only. I forget the cost but it was nominal and well worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The original statues from the Charles Bridge are stored there and very detailed and impressive. It was all part of an enjoyable afternoon in the Vysehrad complex.
