[2025 Prague Attraction] Travel Guide for Vyšehrad Cemetery (Updated Jul)

The Vyšehrad Cemetery is right next to the Church of St. Paul and St. Peter. More than 600 Czech noble families and outstanding figures in various fields are buried in the cemetery, including the famous Czech artist Mucha, the famous Czech author Kafka and the famous Czech composer Dešak. Some cemeteries will design tombstones based on the deceased's occupation during his lifetime. For example, there is a violin on the tombstone in Figure 4, telling everyone that the deceased was a violinist. The corridors on both sides of the cemetery are the burial places of early nobles, bishops and wealthy people, so each tombstone is exquisitely and luxuriously carved, like a work of art. The cemetery is managed by a dedicated person, the environment is beautiful and clean, there is no eerie feeling at all, it feels more like a park, peaceful and tranquil 😍. Europeans' views on life and death are indeed different from those of Asians. It is worth recommending a visit here to experience it, and you may gain a different understanding of death. 😍#Prague #Czech Republic #Overseas Travel

#favouriteitinerary Perched above the Vltava River, Vyšehrad offers a quieter, less touristy glimpse into Prague’s history. Wander through the ancient fortress walls, visit the striking Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, and explore the Vyšehrad Cemetery, the resting place of many Czech cultural icons. The park-like setting provides breathtaking views of the city and a peaceful escape from the bustling center.

This time we will introduce Vyšehrad in Prague, Czech Republic🏰 It is said that the 7th century Queen Libuše lived in Vyšehrad Castle. Vyšehrad Castle no longer exists, but churches and cemeteries remain within the castle walls. Vyšehrad means "high castle". The first movement of Czech composer Smetana's symphonic poem "My Country", "Vyšehrad", refers to this castle. This church, which can be seen high up while walking around Prague, is the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul (Chrám sv. Petra a Pavla). (First photo) It was originally a Romanesque cathedral, but was rebuilt in the Gothic style. The inside of the church is very beautiful, with the walls and ceiling covered with paintings in various styles. There is a cemetery next to it. The eighth photo is Smetana's grave. There are also the graves of other great people such as Dvorak and Mucha. The oldest building remaining here is the Rotunda sv. martina, which is said to have been built around 1100. (Photo 11) I visited in March 2024. There were many local people strolling and relaxing in the garden, so it felt like a place that was close to the community. It is a little far from the center, but it is about 20 minutes by public transportation to the nearest place, or about 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the nearest place.

Visiting the mansion of Czech national treasure painter Mucha 📢 First, on behalf of my Czech friend, the executive director of the Mucha Foundation, and Alphonse Mucha's great-grandson, Mr. Marcus Mucha, I want to convey a message to all friends in the Chinese-speaking world. After his careful selection, from now on, when referring to Mucha in Chinese, always use the character '慕' (which means 'admire'). If you admire Mucha, make sure not to use the wrong character. · 🌞 On a sunny midsummer afternoon in Prague, with a saturation so high it felt like a dream, Coco, led by my old friend Lukas, the director of the Czech Tourism Board, arrived at the Mucha family's private mansion at the foot of Prague Castle and finally met the elegant and friendly Marcus. · 🏰 With Marcus's introduction, Coco got to see the living and working environment of Alphonse Maria Mucha during his lifetime, as well as some of Marcus Mucha's growth stories. · ⛪ This ancient building, which once served as a monastery residence, has a reception room on the first floor, living quarters and a studio on the second floor, and rooms for Marcus and his father on the third floor. The first and second floors preserve many of the Mucha family's collections, now used for receiving guests but not open to the public. · ⭐ Mucha fans all know that Alphonse's works are not only vast in number but also span multiple artistic fields, including oil painting, posters, advertising, jewelry design, and architectural design. Here, Coco saw Mucha's dazzling collections, including a miniature piano used by Mozart and Chinese porcelain treasures gifted by friends. · 🖼️ The paintings displayed in the mansion are mostly from Alphonse's later years, specifically the 'The Slav Epic' series. In 1910, at the age of 50, Alphonse Mucha returned to his homeland, the Czech Republic, after long stays in France and the United States. From 1911, he dedicated 18 years to completing 'The Slav Epic.' · 🧡 Thanks to Lukas, Coco had the opportunity to visit the Mucha special exhibition in 2018 in Brno, the capital of South Moravia, which included these twenty large oil paintings of 'The Slav Epic.' Compared to those flowers and beauties, they carry a more powerful soul. · 🛋️ I took a photo with Marcus in front of the red sofa bed where he slept as a child. After the photo, I asked for his IG account, and to my surprise, we had been following each other for 7 years! Initially, he liked and followed me after I visited that special exhibition in 2018. At that time, I thought he was just a Mucha fan based on his profile picture and name, but it turned out he was Mucha's great-grandson. What a wonderful coincidence! · 💐 Marcus said he and Lukas are old friends and fellow townsmen. Hearing from Lukas about my love for Mucha and even visiting Vyšehrad Cemetery to pay respects to Mucha, he was very touched, which led to this meeting. Thanks to Lukas and Marcus, this little Mucha fan had a dream-come-true afternoon. Marcus, who loves Chinese food, looks forward to visiting China again. Next time in Beijing, I'll take him to eat Peking duck. Long live Czech-Chinese friendship! 🇨🇿🇨🇳🥂

A person walks along the beautiful scenery to the church in Prague, praying silently, hoping that everything will be fine. The weather here is very good and every place is comfortable.
