Vyšehrad Events | Concerts, Educational Events, Programs & More

Vyšehrad’s events reflect the city’s glorious past and rich culture. They usually take place at the Old Burgrave’s House – a palace building constructed during the reign of Charles IV in the 14th century. The auditorium serves as the venue for myriad events – theatre, music concerts, art workshops, summer festivals and literature programmes. Vyšehrad events also include educational programmes for schools and weekend sessions for children. They also offer the place on rent for business, cultural or private events. 

The building is open from 9:30 am to 6 pm from April to October and 9:30 am to 5 pm from November to March. Admission cost ranges from 60 Kč to 180 Kč (€2.40 to €7.20). The Sunday afternoon theatre costs 90 Kč (€3.60) while the price and timings for special events and other programmes differ according to each event.

Vyšehrad events are also held at the Open Air Theatre located in the north of the city. It’s a small but famous amphitheater that operates only during the summer months. It is situated in the so-called redan area that was built by the Viennese government to tackle the Prague Uprising of 1848.

The amphitheater, located within the Vyšehrad fortification, has been operating since the 1990s. You can check for tickets online and catch a play if you’re visiting. However, the programs are held in the Czech language only, unless mentioned otherwise. But it still makes for a unique cultural experience if you’re up for it.

Vyšehrad events are held at the Open Air Theatre from May to September, depending on the weather. Currently, there are no programs running at the amphitheater.
