Ofcourse there are the fabulous sculptures on the Charles Bridge in Prague. But do you know many of those are actually not the original ones? Some of the original ones have been shifted to a safe place to protect them and that is how I came to know of Vysehrad! Located south of Petrin hill, we started off there after exploring the street-art in Prague city. Today, till the end of Vysehrad from atop the Prague Castle is a UNESCO protected region. Its a good 20 minute ride by tram and like Prague Castle, this too is atop the hill and the complex comprises of various buildings, but...... as a much much more serene, peaceful and calm version...
