Heritage & monuments
Memorial to the Victims of Communism
About the Site
The Memorial to the Victims of Communism stands at the base of Petřín Hill in Malá Strana. It features a series of bronze figures descending a concrete staircase, dedicated to those affected by Czechoslovakia's communist era from 1948 to 1989. Travellers visit to view the sculptures and reflect on this period of the country's history.
Getting There
From central Prague, take a tram across the Vltava River to the Újezd stop, located directly at the site. The journey takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Walking from the Old Town takes around 20 minutes.
Time to Allow
Plan to spend 15 to 30 minutes. This provides enough time to walk along the steps and read the inscriptions.
When to Go
Visit during daylight hours to see the sculptural details clearly. The open outdoor area rarely becomes overcrowded, though park foot traffic increases on summer afternoons. Mornings offer the quietest setting.
