Track down the Statue of Franz Kafka, a surreal sculpture tucked into Prague's Old Town. Stop for a few minutes to watch the sculpture and enjoy the street's quiet corners.

📖

Full description

This sculpture honours the writer Franz Kafka and is based on one of his short stories, giving it a surreal, unusual character that suits his work. Visitors often find it while exploring the Old Town's side streets and quiet corners, and some describe searching for the rotating head as part of the fun.

It is free, open around the clock, and takes only about 15 minutes, which makes it an easy addition to a walking tour or a literary-themed afternoon in Staré Město.

Reviews

We took a walking tour that included this statue. Walking tours are free and of course they will accept a tip. Be prepared to walk a lot and also you will get lots of information.
