Vyšehrad

 According to ancient legends, Vyšehrad is the oldest seat of Czech princes. The local settlement was established in the mid-10 th century. Situated on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River, it offers stunning views of the city, and the park area holds architectural treasures including the rare Romanesque Rotunda of St Martin, the neo-Gothic Church of Sts Peter and Paul, the national cemetery Slavín, and the underground casements housing the some of the original Baroque statues from the Charles Bridge.

On the ramparts of the castle, we met a sweet old lady selling laces, and of course, we purchased a small, intricate table cloth from her.
