What travelers are saying
- Kristie BKingsley, UK66 contributionsThe monument itself is huge and very imposing, but also beautiful. The views from the top are great too. However, to reach the monument, you do have to climb a very steep hill, which is quite the hike on a hot day.Written May 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bucky1836Madison, WI228 contributionsEntrance is just across the street from the Zelivskeho subway stop. Yes, Kafka's gravesite is here, but I would recommend strolling around other parts of the cemetery first to get some context. You'll notice how many markers and memorials have dates of death between 1939 and 1945. And then think how many more graves there would have been if so many hadn't been killed in camps during the Holocaust. Remember that this is closed from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning and men should cover their heads.Written June 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leah AJerusalem, Israel40 contributionsMost of the reviewer here confuse the Old cemetery in the Jewish quarter with the newer cemetery in Zizkov.
The Zizkov cemetery is located near the TV tower.It used to take up the entirely area of the adjacent park and the area on which the TV tower is built.
Unfortunately most of the cemetery was destroyed under communism and what is left is a small part.
Of note in this cemetery is the grave of the Node BYehuda the illustrious rabbi of Prague and Jewish scholar and his family.
Also don't miss the black monument to the side. During a reconstruction of one of Prague squires it became apparent that the street was paved with blocks varved out of Jewish Grave monuments. The blocks were gathered together to build this haunting memorial to antisemitism.Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a modern church, constructed between 1929-1932 and built from designs from architect Jozef Plecnik ,its totally different from all the churches in Prague of which there are many,this is a more brutalist style of architecture ,the most defining feature of this church is the amazing clock tower ,it's such a unique and very photogenic church that's most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate on Namesti Jiriho Z Podebrad.Written April 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This monument features a bronze sculpture atop a pedestal. The pedestal is made of stone and is engraved with the world CHURCHILL. The sculpture of the made would not look out of place even in the UK. It depicts Churchill as an elderly man wearing a buttoned up long coat, with a grumpy look on his face. The sculpture also shows Churchill using a walking stick to support himself, clearing indicating the depiction of Churchill in his twilight years.
The monument is a little out of place opposite a Trade Union office, but sadly it’s also well away from the main tourist circuit, to the north east of Prague Central Station.Written October 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This beautiful Gothic church was constructed in 1903 and is such an impressive and imposing church,renovated between 1992-1997 ,its such a photogenic church ,one that I highly recommend you visit if you're in the Zizkov district and easy to locate on Sladkovskeho Namesti.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The work of sculptor's Jaroslav Hasek & Karolina Neprasova ,its a combination of a horse and the bust of a man ,so unique, so photogenic, its most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the Zizkov district and easy to locate on Prokopovo Namesti.Written March 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So cool in the summer, it's a perfect hideaway from the city rustle and bustle, in the atmosphere of urban scenery with hammocks randomly placed here in there. It serves as an art venue for a number of concerts, exhibitions, festivals, outdoor movie screenings. Ultimate chill.Written February 9, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Karol Havlicek Borovsky ( 1821-1856 ) was a renowned poet,writer,publisher and dramatist ,this statue in his honour was unveiled in 1911, the work of sculptor Josef Strachovsky made from bronze,is well detailed animated and most definitely well worth checking out if you're on Havlickovo Namesti.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Winston Churchill Square is easy to locate on Namesti Winstona Churchilla ,its very close to FZ Viktoria Zizkov Football Ground,tram numbers 5.9.26.55.56 to stop Husinecka drops you off practically by the square.
Well worth checking out for the statue alone .Written April 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a place associated with the lectures of Jan Hus.Written May 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
