Jan Palach Memorial (Památník Jana Palacha)
  • The Jan Palach Memorial is easy to miss. Look for a worn bronze cross that seems to be rising out of the pavement at the bottom of the steps to the National Museum.
  • Prague highlights tours and Nazi or Communism itineraries cover a lot of ground on foot, so be sure to wear comfortable footwear and be prepared to do some walking.
  • The memorial is located in Wenceslas Square, one of the busiest in the city, but you will still often come across students or activists quietly leaving flowers and lighting candles at the site. Be respectful when visiting.
  • The site is set on a public sidewalk and accessible to wheelchairs.
