Also there are plenty of good cafes and restaurants around. And also there is a tunnel (pedestrians and bikes) going under the hill through which you get pretty fast from Žižkov to Karlín.

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.

We had a very easy time here because we had the privilege of a Czech translator who prepared all of…read morethe documents for my residency. All I had to do was bring my passport, get a number, wait for 3 minutes and sign a couple of papers making sure to check for accuracy of my name. Pretty simple. My translator did call in advance to set up a fast track appointment, but we still had to take a number and wait. Once we were at the counter the person taking care of the paper work seemed to be moving very slowly. This is considering that most other places in Prague we have visited, everyone moves at a very quick pace. My translator was the one who commented, "I can just imagine people yelling at her." My fiance made the point that, "She probably has to deal with a lot of rude foreigners." With everything said and done, I don't think it took too long, maybe 20 minutes total.

Once the visa was approved, there was only 3 weeks of validity left because it took so long to process, so I had to start the whole thing over again.
