Prague's other fortress, on a rock south of the centre, without the castle queues. You stroll along the walls with the Vltava at your feet, enter the Neo-Gothic Basilica of St Peter and St Paul and the cemetery where Dvořák, Smetana and Mucha are buried. The grounds are free. You get there by metro C to the Vyšehrad stop, or on foot along the riverbank from the Dancing House.
