A must-see for all Kafka fans. The museum is compact, and dedicated fans might know most of what is displayed, but it's still an authentic and lovely experience.

An excellent museum in Prague dedicated to Franz Kafka's life. Extremely interesting with a stunning courtyard featuring unique statues. A must-visit for literature and history enthusiasts.

A fun spot and a perfect break during a bike tour. It's worth stopping to take photos of the statues. Don't miss out on the booths nearby for uniquely decorated cookies and other treats.

The location is nice, but the entry price is steep. There's a café with a great view, but it only accepts cash, making the Starbucks option necessary if you wish to pay by card. They should address this issue.

An engaging and informative museum focusing on Kafka’s biography and chronology. The beautiful photographs and manuscripts, accompanied by multilingual quotes and captions, are well preserved. Artistic videos add depth, but more insights into his novels could further enhance the experience. Located over two floors in a renovated building in the castle area.
