Bruce Ferjulian
★★★★★9 months agoThis was a recommended stop by the YouTube channel ( Honest Guide ) for Prague. It was easy getting there by public transportation although no bus goes to the top of the hill so you have to make the climb along paved well manicured pathways. Like all memorials to the fallen it is a somber visit. The location high on top of the hill gives you a commanding view of Prague. Also you can take an elevator to the roof for an ever better view. I did stop at the cafe and sat on the terrace with a sweet pastry and a cup of coffee. This was well worth the effort to visit. Highly recommend.
