I'm of the opinion that we still owe huge respects to those who fought and died in the war so always look to take in such sites wherever we travel to. We walked from the Palace and the 20 minute google time turned into a 40 minute uphill trek. Be prepared. I'm almost 60 and was panting. Great views and emotional with mass graves - imagine the 6000 Russians peasants who have their lives without any attachment to the city - but it's quite basic in what it offers so come with realistic expectations. The journey down was much quicker.

Well worth the climb through the steep streets to reach this site. Everywhere is well kept and clean, plus there’s plenty of signs throughout the site explaining the history and what each of the sections are. The views over the city below are impressive and there’s many good photo opportunities. A peaceful site with sad history but it’s a must-visit place when in the city.

As an ex-serviceman I always make a point of visiting sights like these. Its is personally very important. LEST WE FORGET. Well worth the short walk from the city centre up the steps. Well kept and peaceful. A must to take a few minutes to remember those who died for their own freedom.

This was an easy walk from our hotel, although we weren't downtown. But even from downtown this is very doable. Great outing for a good weather day. You don't need to be on a tour to see Slavin, unless you are looking for an escort with some verbal, historical information. Great views of the city as well!
