Vyšehrad
Vyšehrad, a hill fort perched on a rock above the river, is
an inseparable part of the city skyline. The twin spires of the
Neo-Gothic Saints Peter and Paul Church are visible from afar and
the façade has beautiful carvings. No other site has as much
distinction attached to it. Behind the church is the Slavin
Cemetery where many distinguished Czech artists, scientists and
academics are buried. From the battlements the view of the Vltava
valley is superb.
