Vyšehrad Castle: Casemates and Gorlice

Retreat from tourist buzz while looking over the old and new towns

I got to the full guide throughout this thought-provoking and relaxing tour in and around Vysehrad. It was a relatively quiet venue away from the hustles and bustles of tourists, even though I am one of them. Toward the end, their own guide led all the others at Golice. Unfortunately it was done in local tongue which I did not understand at all. But I got to see the original statues of the Charles Bridge, which was a hidden jewel.

Avoid this tour

The tour guide was a nice person. However The tour literally consisted of walking around the walls of the fortress killing 2 hours so the guide could hand us off for the Casemates portion. It was just my wife and I. We met the guide at the museum and she took us by subway to the attraction. We did go through the church with very little commentary and the graveyard where she did point out a few graves. Overall Little information was giving on the fort. Felt like she didn’t want to be there. She pointed out a few things here and there but really didn’t go into detail. The casemates was done by a different guide who had every bad English and mostly talked in Czech. That started when a lame video of some glass maker guy. She told to go to the subway and take the train back. On our own. We don’t speak or read Czech so that was not possible we used Uber instead.

Nice castle

This tour states that the entrance to Narodni Museum is included but we did not receive tickets to the museum. Also it says metro is included but we actually used our own metro tickets and the guide did not have to buy it ‘coz we already had tickets our own. The tour is informative and nice castle. Inside The Casemates and Gorlice have beautiful glass sculptures. The guide is knowledgeable and professional.

A must for any tourist

Our guide was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. It was like seeing Prague with an old friend! Vysehrad is a must-see place.

Great tour

Marta did a great job leading our Vysehrad Castle tour and showing us the grounds. The Castle and the grounds were very interesting and offered great views of Prague.

Not too much to see

Not too much to see inside. Just a few statues from Charles bridge (original ones) in a pretty big underground hall. Take care, it's pretty cold in there. The tour is just a walk through some dark, cold and humid galleries, which ends with a stop in Gorlice Hall, where you receive some information. Sometimes (as in my case) the tours starts at Cihelna Brana.

Mooi maar overroepen

Vind het wat overroepen wat betreft de bezoekmoeite. Maar wat me bijbleef is vooral het kerkhof. Het terrein op zich is wel mooi maar geen waauhw!
