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.
