Brick Gate

Tourist attraction Historical landmark Hiking area

👍👍 Interesting place off the beaten path. Original Charles bridge statues are stored here. Vysehrad in general is away from the center of Prague so less crowded. Great views of the city and St. Vitus cathedral Less crowded. People often mention gate, tour, ehrad, beautiful, Prague, walk, Vysehrad,

    One of the entrances to the fantastic citadel of Vysehrad. I approached it this time ( my 9th visit ) through the tunnel on the East side and then up the hill. This is the most tranquill ( and romantic ) neighbourhood of Prague, offering terrific views of the city from all directions. Walk through the cemetery where so many famous as well as many unknown to me deceased are buried...Dvorak, Smetana ,Kubelik and the former chief conductor of the Czech Phil. Orchestra...Karel Ancerl ....who i had the honour of attending 2 of his concerts over 50 yrs ago.

    Not many tourists know about this place, this is a big place with many activities. The brick gate is an empire gate. It is located in the northern part of the fort. About 2 hours is enough to see the place. Bazilika svateho is a beautiful place inside and out.

    The first site we went in Vysehrad was the most important one for me - Brick Gate, Casemates & Gorlice. This is an underground cellar that can be accessed only with a guided tour that happens once every hour. The Brickgate is the entrypoint to the Casemates & Gorlice. This was constructed in 1841.

    Pay the money and take the tour inside the casemates. It is well worth it and very interesting. Be warned, it averages 8°C in there so wrap up warm. Tour guide is very knowledgeable and delivers the tour in Czech and English.

    The person in charge didn't spoke too much English, and also seem that he didn't know too much about the place, but besides this he was extremely helpful and as he saw that I was with my camera, said the best places to take pictures, saving me a lot of time!
