Impressive statue but not worth the trouble of getting there. Good view of Zizkov but not of the old city. The street that runs parallel to the park (konevova) is considered one of the worst parts of prague; not dangerous but seedy, lots of herna bars, brothels, gypsys etc. Lived in Zizkov across the street from the park for a year so i can recommend avoiding lower zizkov all together unless you want to buy heroin or pawn your camera.

Prague is getting increasingly crowded. Thankfully, some attractions have not been fully discovered yet. The Vitkov monument is one of them. The area is currently undergoing some major reconstruction. The adjacent park with steep paths is a great place to relax or exercise.

A word of caution: while this area is no crime hot spot, it is fairly ...

The statue is so huge and beautiful. For a while i felt that it was alive. Also the park is nice for an afternoon walk. The view of the city is also wonderful.

I have had an opportunity to view the city from the top of the Zizkov hill in a cold winter day a few years back. One can feel chilly winds there and should pay attention to his/hers clothing when visiting this place of interest in more severe weather conditions, luckily not so common in Prague.
