NEKLANOVA · THEN & NOWOUR FIRST RECOMMENDATION
Go up to
Vyšehrad.
A former royal seat, a fortress and a place woven into Czech legends. Today, Vyšehrad is a place for park walks, city views and a different pace of Prague.
Look for the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, follow the ramparts and take time by the river-facing viewpoints.

A place of stories
Vyšehrad is closely associated with Czech legends, including Princess Libuše. Its documented history as a fortified settlement reaches back to the 10th century.
Perunika’s identity draws on Slavic mythology and Perun, the god of thunder. The atmosphere is our inspiration — an invitation to discover the area’s stories for yourself.
