Used for many centuries as the only bridge in Prague it was also the main road for coronation processions and it decorated with religious statues along the way. Today the bridge is used for pedestrians and is visited mostly by tourists. Even on rainy and snowy day when I visited - it is nothing short of impressive. In particular - the bridge is roughly 35 feet wide - and considering its age it is an amazing fear of engineering.

Our guide told us several of the statues (particularly the ones people touch for good luck) were actually tested and carry staph and e-coli, so a definite heads up for those visiting to either not touch, or use hand sanitizer after they do. Every statue has a bit of a story to it and this was probably our favorite part of the tour we were on. I would be extra careful for pickpockets because it's beyond touristy, but all in all, a definite must-do via a tour guide if you have the chance.

The fountain's basin is made of bronze and shaped like the Czech Republic. Standing in the fountain, opposite one another, are mechanical statues of men, standing 210 centimetres (6 ft 11 in) tall with bronze penises, urinating. One of them in what seems to be urinating the Prague area, the other other one doing the same in Brno (the second largest city in Czechia). Visitors to the area used to be able to command the men to write messages into the water via SMS....not sure if that is still the case.

The history of this location dates back to the mid-10th century when it existed as a hill fort, then transforming into several iterations--including a royal castle, a city, then a Baroque fortress--the form of which it maintains today. As for places to visit within the park, the top point of interest is the Bazilika sv. Petra a Pavla (Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul), filled with wall-to-wall Art Nouveau murals as well as Baroque and Gothic art and architectural elements. The cemetery behind the church is crowded with many memorials though beautiful, with a number of famous Czechs buried here. It's free to walk in the cemetery and the church entrance fee is 130 CZK for regular adult entrance, 70 CZK discounted, 250 CZK for families. There are regular masses held in this church. The fortress casemates* are open to visitors, such as Gorlice Hall which is repurposed as a display hall for four of the original statues from the Charles Bridge; Casemates of Podolí are underground corridors that served as air-raid shelters during WWII, and remnants of what used to be a Baroque masonry retrofitted for different purposes throughout the years; Casemates to Redan was completed in the 18th century by the French army and served as an artillery embankment and provides views overlooking the river. Ticket prices vary depending on the specified Casement, regular and discounted prices available. I will mention that not having prior knowledge of these areas prior to visiting the park, it wasn't immediately obvious that these sections were open to visitation. You may need to ask around to the location of these entrances. In the Gothic Cellar are the remains of what used to be part of the palace structures built during the reign of Charles IV, during the second part of the 14th century, then destroyed by Hussite troops in the early 15th century. Used as a small museum displaying Vyšehrad's history and artifacts, this space is currently undergoing renovation and preparations for a new permanent exhibit to open in May 2026. The grounds around the park include paved pathways and raised areas along the walls, there are both disability accessible and non-accessible areas. There are some administrative buildings on the property that have facilities for smaller performances and events.
