Nestled beneath the Vyšehrad Rock on the banks of the Vltava River, Podskalí is a lesser-known but historically rich area of Prague. Once a bustling port village and a vital part of the city’s economy, Podskalí has transformed over the centuries into a charming destination that seamlessly blends history, culture, and leisure.

The name Podskalí, meaning “under the rock,” reflects its proximity to the Vyšehrad Rock, where the ancient Vyšehrad Castle once stood.
