This tour involves a steep climb up to the Vitkov HillVitkov Hill monument requires 20-30 minutes of climbing uphill. For those with difficulty climbing, we recommend a private tour that leaves out Vitkov Hill. We can offer you an excellent tour of cold war sites in the city center that doesn’t require the ascent to Vitkov.
