Quite a typical, nice cemetery, I think the proximity of a big shopping mall somehow ruins the atmosphere, though. Still I like walking through it, and I'm sure it's beautiful in every season.

Nice place to walk around, nice athmosphere, lot of candles these days
With its wide alley and massive trees, the cemetery looks more like a park. It's extremely peaceful.
Beautiful place. After nearly a week in Prague, we were running out of things to do. As the wife and I like cemeteries, we decided to pay a visit here. It was a short ride on the Metro, and practically right outside the Metro station. Its huge. We spent about 4 hours wandering around, and it was so peaceful. Its a proper oldy worldy cemetery, with loads of interesting mausoleums, and gravestones to read. Lots of places to sit and eat lunch too. We visited Kafka's grave, and also found Russian and British war graves there too. Highly recommended if you want to escape city centre Prague.
Largest cemetery in Prague with many graveyards, old and new, dating from the 17th century. You can walk for hours and even could get lost in the differents paths.
Its origins date back to 1680, when it was used during a plague epidemic, but its definitive valorization is due to Giuseppe II, who with a decree forbade, for hygienic reasons, that the dead were buried around the city churches. divides into 12 cemeteries, also distinguished by religion. In addition to the Hebrew one, which we will discuss later, there is a section for the burial of Orthodox Christians and another for Muslims. There is also the cemetery of Red Army soldiers who fell during the war in Czechoslovakia. The monumental tombs that are inside it are numerous and of great value, among which those in art nouveau style stand out. Olšany also has two large structures for the celebration of funeral rites.
If you are a Dark soul like me, don't you wait and visit. This cemetery looks wonderfully in every time of the year! There are old, desolated graves, crypts and the atmosphere is just stunning. I like to go there with my camera and take pictures... The older parts are the best... because new cemeteries are boring...
Very large Cemetery, u could almost spend a whole day there , unfortunately I didn't spent much time there to find the older graves as the area I wandered around was all relatively new , my fault
