How do I get to the Memorial?
The Memorial overlooks the upper section of an expanse that has been nicknamed “Gahura Avenue”. But when using maps or navigation, you’ll want to enter its official address: nám. T. G. Masaryka 2570, Zlín. You can then head to the neighbouring secondary school building to purchase your ticket – its rear entrance contains the Memorial Info Point. At the Info Point you can also wait for the start of your tour, purchase souvenirs or check out the several Baťa-themed books on offer here.
