As Prague is the birthplace of Kafka, this genius of literature, Franz Kafka Museum is a must see if you're in the city. The museum was moved here from Barcelona in 1999, and let's admit, Prague is a much better place for it as the master was born here.

The museum has got two parts. In one exhibition room you will find objects from Kafka's life and work, from manuscripts to his diaries and letters. On the other 'level' you will encounter the writer's Prague via documentaries, audio guides and a 3D tour. It's called the Imaginary Topography of Prague and it's very interesting.

Price:
Adults 120KC (about $6)
Students 60KC (about $3)

The prices as well as the clientele swerve extensively the tourist jam-packed Old Town and preoccupy the slightly sordid neighborhood bars.
