The most beautiful cemetery we've been to so far. The sheer number of amazing artworks and sculptures is stunning. Great location on a hill. Amazing surroundings as well.

Thera are a lot of well-known people buried there. Still, we specifically went to see Milada Horáková's memorial to pay tribute to this lady murdered by communists in 1950.

The Vysehrad Cemetery is a cemetery on the grounds of Saint Peter and Paul Basilica. It’s a lovingly tended cemetery and contains the graves and tombs of many well known Czech personalities including that of Antonín Dvořák Tomb. There’s a map at the entrance of the cemetery so you can make a beeline for the tomb instead of having to search for it. It’s easy to find anyway, just follow all the tourists.

A very beautiful cemetery where quite famous people are buried. Very beautiful statues. I never thought I would like a cemetery. Looks more like a park than a cemetery.

It was so meaningful to visit here. How incredible able to visit many of artists or composer’s resting place.

Need I say it is quiet? Not so crowded and really a quiet getaway, if you feel tired from the crowded main attractions of the city.

This cemetery is one of a kind. Lots of special graves that spark interest into the people who rest here eternally.

Milada Haraková: who was she? Why is she buried in this cemetey, and her name painted in red? I asked to a Czchec guide and he just said "a politician", and dismissed me. My later research showed that she was not just a politician. He who forgets the past, history, is commdemned to repeat it.

This place is perfect for meditating about life and your destiny on this planet. Please visit it, you won't be disappointed.

Cemetery at the church of st. Peter and Paul has been a place of rest of important Czech personalities since the 19th century. Its predecessor in this place existed already in 1260, but it was rebuilt into the national burial place only in 1869. Its extraordinary position is evidenced by the exception, which was granted in 1785 during the reform of Emperor Joseph II. Burial was permitted here by a special decree, although at the other cemeteries inside the city were strictly prohibited. The entrance to the cemetery can be found to the left of the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul at Vyšehrad. Around 600 prominent personalities are buried here - writers, scientists, poets, artists, composers, actors, doctors, or politicians In 1889–1893 a common tomb for the most important personalities of Czech history named Slavín was built here according to a project by Antonín Wiehl. Hřbitov při kostelu sv. Petra a Pavla je od 19. století místem odpočinku významných českých osobností. Jeho předchůdce byl na tomto místě již v roce 1260, na národní pohřebiště byl však prostor přebudován až v roce 1869. O jeho vyjimečném postavení svědčí výjimka, která mu byla udělena v roce 1785 za reforem císaře Josefa II. Zvláštním výnosem tu bylo povoleno pohřbívání, ačkoliv ostatní hřbitovy u kostelů uvnitř města musely být zrušeny. Vchod do hřbitova najdete nalevo od Baziliky sv. Petra a Pavla na Vyšehradě. Je tu pochováno kolem 600 významných osobností – spisovatelů, vědců, básníků, výtvarných umělců, skladatelů, herců, lékařů, nebo politiků, například A. Dvořák, K. Čapek, B. Němcová, K. H. Mácha, J. Neruda, A. Mucha, M. Aleš, E. Destinnová, J. Heyrovský, B. Smetana a další. V letech 1889–1893 tu byla podle projektu Antonína Wiehla postavena společná hrobka pro nejvýznamnější osobnosti české kultury, umění, vědy a techniky Slavín.

A lively place to walk and contemplate history. Really a place a tourist in Prague should visit.

Višehrad, die zweite Prager Burg auf einem Hügel hoch über der Moldau. Auf dem Friedhof viele Gräber berühmter Persönlichkeiten wie Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904), Bedřich Smetana (1824–1884), Alfons Mucha (1860–1939) und viele andere. Von dort hat man einen herrlichen Blick über die Stadt.

Ruhige Alternative zur hektischen Altstadt Prag, der Park und insbesondere der Friedhof. Neben den großen Komponisten kann man dort auch einige Überraschungen entdecken wie Kaja Saudek, dem originellem Comiczeichner. An Wochentagen ziemlich ruhig und zugänglich ohne Tickets

Well-maintained and decently arranged cemetery

Nice and very calm place not just the cemetery but over all the surrounding.

Very quite and nice place .. Established in 1869 on the grounds of Vyšehrad Castle in Prague, Czech Republic, the Vyšehrad Cemetery (Czech: Vyšehradský hřbitov) is the final resting place of many composers, artists, sculptors, writers, and those from the world of science and politics. The centerpiece of the cemetery is the Slavín tomb designed by Antonín Wiehl, a large and notable tomb located within Vyšehrad cemetery.

Incredible, what an art these tombstones

Beautiful cemetery, with lots of sculptures.

This cemetery was so cool, the art and time went into creating these tombs is remarkable. It was nice to get to Vysehrad to get away from the crowds at Prague castle.

Interesting cemetery with graves of some of Pragues famous people.
