Vy\u0161ehrad with Private Guide - P5<\/h1>\n<\/div>

The hilltop spot inviting a peaceful walk\u2026 a place where myths blend with history\u2026<\/em><\/p>

Vy\u0161ehrad, a historic quarter located atop a rocky promontory, is the cradle of a number of myths. Their central figure is the first Czech princess, Libu\u0161e, a woman with long braids of blond hair that was thought to have oracle skills and chose her seat at Vy\u0161ehrad in the beginnings of our history. According to legends, she was also the one who both predicted and initiated the foundation of the glorious city of Prague\u2026<\/p>

For a short period of time, Vy\u0161ehrad was also the seat of Czech princes, who built sumptuous buildings here. Among those, the St. Martin rotunda has survived intact, as well as the many-times-remodeled church of St. Peter and Paul. This church surprises visitors with its ever present Art-Nouveau frescoes, as well as a stunning medieval panel-painting known as the Virgin Mary of Rain, once believed to bring rain to our ancestors.<\/p>

In the Baroque period, Vy\u0161ehrad was rebuilt into a fortress in the shape of a star, a shape inspired by French fort architecture. A walk along the individual star points provides us a nearly circular view of the city, the Vltava River and the hills on the opposite bank.<\/p>

Another truly interesting place within the fortress is Slav\u00edn, the cemetery of famous key figures of the Czech nation. We will stop by their graves, many of which are true works of art, of significant patriots the names of many you are likely to recognize \u2013 Bed\u0159ich Smetana, Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, Alphonse Mucha, Milada Hor\u00e1kov\u00e1 and others.<\/p>

The tour of Vy\u0161ehrad (the name of which could be literally translated as High Castle) is a great choice for those who wish to escape the rush of downtown and touch the soul of ancient mythological stories. It\u2019s perfect if you enjoy impressive panoramic views, beautiful artworks or just some time for an in-depth talk with your guide about life in the Czech Republic.<\/p>

The basic route of this tour can be optionally enhanced by the guided visit to the interior of St. Peter and Paul Church or a stop in a local caf\u00e9:<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\"\" Church of St. Peter and Paul<\/h3>

... this ancient church, currently reconstructed in the Neo-Gothic style, was richly decorated with bands of Art-Nouveau frescoes in the beginning of the 20th century by Franti\u0161ek Urban and his wife Marie. They found inspiration in our national history and also painted an entire gallery-display of Christian saints. Aside from these, the church provides the opportunity to admire the work of one of greatest Czech Baroque painters, Karel \u0160kr\u00e9ta.<\/p>\"https:\/\/www.pragueartstour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/p5-vysehrad-1170x300.jpg\"\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
