National Monument at Vítkov

This 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.

In my opinion, there are 3 places in Prague that are worth getting to see Prague from above: The Clock Tower The Cathedral Vitkov A stunning view - Highly recommended

Talk about a hidden gem of Prague! Even though you can clearly see it on a hill, for some reason everyone goes just to the city center, this place was almost empty as we visited. And it is definitely worth a visit, absolutely stunning 360 degree view is truly something else. The building itself is a monument and sort of museum built of stone and marble. There is also a cafe with equally stunning views, but it could've been nicer on the inside. Oh, and the best part? It's totally free to visit, including the rooftop platform.

This remarkable monument is quite impressive. An elevator provides access to the building's summit, where one can enjoy a panoramic view encompassing nearly all of Prague. Reaching this location necessitates a climb up the hill, an endeavor that is undoubtedly worthwhile. The second floor features lovely rooms and a charming café, which is among the highest in Prague. There, one can find coffee, cakes, beer, and other refreshing beverages. Please note that they only accept cash, but the prices are quite reasonable. Even if the monument is closed, the magnificent statue and the views from the platform remain exceptional. However, I highly suggest visiting when you can experience the roof and the café.

Great views from the top of this memorial in Prague. It’s free to enter. The pier There was an exhibition area which was closed as they’re updating it. The interior is really striking compared to the outside. It was definitely worth the walk up the hill to get there.

This building is relatively well designed and the museum offers great information about Jan Zizka and the battle that had occured here with an amazing view of Prague, however the opening and closing times are interestingly concerning and the walk up there is cumbersome when considering the dense roads of florence and the distance from any subway.

Stunning find we happened upon by accident. It has some interesting historical context and offers a wonderful view of the whole of Prague and I think makes a great ending to the trip looking out at all the landmarks you saw in person off in the distance.

This monument can be seen from afar. Had not planned on going but am glad we went. It was worth the trip. Admission is free but its up on a hill so if you’re not fit it will be difficult to get there. There is no public transportation nor taxi drop off. The scenery from atop of the monument building is breathtaking. The interior of the building is reminiscent of the communist era. There’s a nice Cafe inside.
