It was a small group with two guides (both named Martin!) who were local Czechs but spoke flawless English. Here are the details: Pick-up: they picked me up from my hotel, came inside and found me, were very personable, and punctual! Gear: they provided me with everything I needed! For the rafting tour, there was a life jacket and a dry bag, and for the bike tour, I had a bike, helmet, and a day pack included. Tour itself: Rafting-you can do this even if you're just a beginner. They give you all the instruction and the guide got in my canoe to help me steer-because I needed it :). We stopped for a great authentic czech meal in a small village and then caught a train back to town after. Bike tour-i did the castle (Karlstejn) and brewery tour which is approx 50km total. I've never biked more than 3mi before (and this is approx 30 mi) and i was terrified but the guides were so so awesome and supportive. It wasnt terribly hilly but when we had an uphill area and i slowed down, there was always a guide with me making sure I was ok. There were plenty of breaks along the way and even some options about which path we could take. The ride itself was beautiful along the river and up to the castle. We ended at a brewery with lunch included and Martin came and picked us up from the brewery after (though there is an option to bike to the train station). HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Drop-off: also back to my hotel!! How awesome after being exhausted. The group: small groups! There were only 2-3 of us, which made the tours customizable and personable. The guides: cannot speak more highly of Martin & Martin (haha, same names!!). I was traveling alone and they made me feel so at home. They gave me recs for what to do later that night and even called restaurants and booked reservations for me. Both the guys made me feel like I have lifelong friends in Praha and if I come back, I'll definitely hang out with them. Overall rec: MUST DO! Reasonable price, amazing people, fabulous way to see a new city. I'm not usually this active on vacations but am so happy I found explore-adventure trips Prague !!

It smells like cinnamon, roasted meat, and sugar, and it is absolutely worth elbowing through the crowd for. Food stalls are everywhere. Take a lap before you commit.

You really do earn your views, walking up to this monument…read more I have to put a disclaimer out there, though - we made the mistake of trying to visit Vitkov without checking their site. I had us allotting time to this monument on a different day in the week, but we needed to make adjustments on the fly, which led to us making the long hike up the hill and many steps only to find...the museum was closed. Yeah...that blew. But - the views! The WIND! It was super windy the day we went. It was also a beautiful sunny day. There were a few people that were hanging out in the sun, or taking pictures of the fantastic vistas, and even - crazily enough! - running up and down the steps. We were surprised by how devoid of people it was, but once we found out that the museum was closed, it made a ton of sense. The monument is HUGE. There just aren't any words to describe how freaking big this thing is. My husband spent a good few minutes staring, wondering aloud how they got something so large up so high. It's incredibly impressive, and I'm sad that we weren't able to visit the museum to learn more about the history of the place. We actually walked the whole way up and down. I'm sure there are trams and/or buses that can get you there faster, but we didn't feel comfortable with public transit at that point, and thought the walk would be nice. We were right, but it's tough. Definitely worth the time and effort, though. Even with the wind and the many steps, I'd go back (when it's open) to visit.

This kicked us into gear..... located in Zizkov (Praha 3), we walked from our garsonka and through the tunnel that leads up on a trial to climb the very visible hill which has at its top, the Hussite leader Jan Zízka (not to be confused with Jan Hus), and then OVER the top of it into Karlin, Praha 8. In fact, all of the Praha 3 quarter is named after this dude who courageously fought a historic battle, pushing back the Crusaders. It was a very cold day and the hike took a good few hours.....most memorial was the large equestrian statue by Bohumil Kafka was erected in 1950. Too, there is a large mass of marble and granite overlooking the city. Super interesting; glad I did it. Lots of locals to say "Dobry den" to.

It's clean, seemed pretty new and wasn't crowded when I went at 11:00 am. Can't attest to how crowded it is during the mornings and evenings. Not sure if this is the standard for Czech gyms or just Fitness Kotva, but you have to have an extra pair of clean shoes just for the gym. You cant work out in the shoes you walked in with. A bit weird for me, but I complied. You must also have a towel with you and can rent one for 45-50 crowns if you don't have one. There is a 100 crown cash only deposit for a key to a locker and the day pass fee was 180 crowns (about $9.00 USD) which is pretty cheap. This gym is located on the fourth floor of the Kotva department store. Walk into the store and take the elevator up and the entrance will be on your left when you exit. If you're working out outside of store hours, there is a side door that will connect you directly to the elevator.

The history of this location dates back to the mid-10th century when it existed as a hill fort, then transforming into several iterations--including a royal castle, a city, then a Baroque fortress--the form of which it maintains today. As for places to visit within the park, the top point of interest is the Bazilika sv. Petra a Pavla (Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul), filled with wall-to-wall Art Nouveau murals as well as Baroque and Gothic art and architectural elements. The cemetery behind the church is crowded with many memorials though beautiful, with a number of famous Czechs buried here. It's free to walk in the cemetery and the church entrance fee is 130 CZK for regular adult entrance, 70 CZK discounted, 250 CZK for families. There are regular masses held in this church. The fortress casemates* are open to visitors, such as Gorlice Hall which is repurposed as a display hall for four of the original statues from the Charles Bridge; Casemates of Podolí are underground corridors that served as air-raid shelters during WWII, and remnants of what used to be a Baroque masonry retrofitted for different purposes throughout the years; Casemates to Redan was completed in the 18th century by the French army and served as an artillery embankment and provides views overlooking the river. Ticket prices vary depending on the specified Casement, regular and discounted prices available. I will mention that not having prior knowledge of these areas prior to visiting the park, it wasn't immediately obvious that these sections were open to visitation. You may need to ask around to the location of these entrances. In the Gothic Cellar are the remains of what used to be part of the palace structures built during the reign of Charles IV, during the second part of the 14th century, then destroyed by Hussite troops in the early 15th century. Used as a small museum displaying Vyšehrad's history and artifacts, this space is currently undergoing renovation and preparations for a new permanent exhibit to open in May 2026. The grounds around the park include paved pathways and raised areas along the walls, there are both disability accessible and non-accessible areas. There are some administrative buildings on the property that have facilities for smaller performances and events. Check their website for more info: https://www.praha-vysehrad.cz/en * a small room in the thickness of the wall of a fortress, with embrasures from which guns or missiles can be fired.
