What's in a Prague street name

Vyšší was built in 1925.

If you’re walking up a hill, you might start in the lower parts (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/03/16/prague-4-day-48-dolni/).

And then end up in the upper parts (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/03/17/prague-4-day-49-horni/).

But sometimes, that’s not the peak, and you may end up even higher – which is exactly what Vyšší means.

For some vocabulary – thankfully less filled with British and American politicians than the last two days – ‘vyšší vrstvy’ are the upper classes, ‘vyšší moc’ is force majeure, and ‘vyšší vzdělání’ is higher education.
