Prague Walking Tour - In the Footsteps of Franz Kafka

Ойын-сауық

In this Prague walking tour, we'll show you places in Prague where Franz Kafka lived, worked, and wrote some of his books and short stories.
We'll start the walking tour at the statue of Franz Kafka at the border of Prague's Jewish Quarter, will make our way through the streets of Old Town, and will finish at the Rotating Head of Kafka. You will see where he went to school, where one of his lovers Milena Jesenská lived, and which places in Prague he felt the most Kafkaesque at.
As some of you might know, Franz Kafka lived most of his life in Prague and this city had an immense impact on his literature. We are excited to finally show you Franz Kafka's Prague.

    Hi Valery and Vaclav, Thanks a lot for your informative videos. I have been watching them for the last 4 weeks to get familiar with Prague sights and now feel like I will be very comfortable and confident in my scheduled visit to Prague next week. As a big Kafka fan, this one was a bonus. Thanks again. Cheers.

    One could perhaps say that Kafka was an Austrian, insofar as he was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bohemia was under Austrian administration. After the war, however, he would have been a citizen of Czechoslovakia, so the confusion remains.... The video was quite extensive and very interesting, but there was no mention of the Franz Kafka Museum (in Malá Strana), possibly because the building has no connection to Kafka's daily life (?). There is also an even more interesting sculpture by David Černý outside the museum.

    In reading the Metamorphosis in school, I thought he was really turning into a cockroach. I was heavy into science fiction and as I was reading, I was getting impatient for the story to explain how he was turning into a cockroach. 🤔
