• No bikes or scooters on the grounds, which are a pedestrian zone, so plan to walk and leave wheels at home
• A playground of Czech legends plus more play features around the Na Hradbách area, good for a break between sights
• Underground tours are ticketed and guided; buy them online or at the information center by Leopold Gate

Vyšehrad is a hilltop fortress above the Vltava, with ramparts to walk, the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, and quiet parks with views over the whole city.

Kids can run the lawns, climb on a playground themed around old Czech legends, and join a guided tour of the casemates, over a kilometer of underground passages leading to Gorlice, a vast hall that holds statues from Charles Bridge.
