Not every city can boast of two fortresses, around which it developed in different periods. In Prague, two dominants - Prague Castle and Visegrad. Visegrad, according to historians, originated in the tenth century, and then lost its role and became the focal point of Prague Castle. A walk through Visegrad combines historical sites, a green area, beautiful landscapes. Rotunda of St. Martin, the Basilica of Peter and Paul, the Devil's Column, the ruins of the Lubuszyn Baths, monuments to Josef Myslbek, Visegrad Cemetery (many famous Czechs are buried, most of the monuments are works of art).

At the beginning, I didn’t have plans to visit the Visegrad fortress, but the free time that appeared was spent walking around Visegrad, and not in vain. Really great place with great views of the city and the Vltava river. In late April, early May, there is already a lot of greenery and with pleasure you can finally take a walk or relax away from the crowd. There is no such siege by tourists. Worth visiting the cathedral and walking around the ramparts, the Visegrad Cemetery is the burial place of many famous people, including Vá clav Havel.
