I visited the Kafka Museum on my very first go to to Prague in 2006 and it was one of the memorable locations I visited. From it’s surrealist ambiance on the within, to the quirky and simply plain bizarre displays about Kafka, I bought misplaced inside and ended up there for a number of hours. It’s a surreal journey into the unusual world of Kafka and simply exterior is one in every of Prague’s most iconic statues—a fountain of two standing males peeing (by the native legendary sculptor David Černý).

Membership Termix & the MeetFactory
A visit to Prague wouldn’t be full with no little bit of nightlife. The town is virtually crawling with EasyJet-setters from throughout Western Europe every weekend. A budget beer most likely helps, however it’s the superb nightlife scene which retains folks coming again for increasingly more. Together with myself! Regardless of by no means coming away completely impressed with town, I at all times handle to have some enjoyable within the golf equipment.

One among them was this actually fairly shot I had of some graffiti and, years later after I was trying by my journey pictures, I spotted it was most likely from the legendary John Lennon Wall.
Because the Nineteen Eighties guests have left drawings and writings on this small stretch of wall simply across the nook from the Charles Bridge. Earlier than the tip of the Soviet occupation, younger Czechs left Beatles-inspired graffiti right here and now the wall fills with new artworks and inspiration day-after-day.
Keep in a cool lodge! Lodge Fusion Prague
I’ve stayed at a number of hostels in Prague—largely as a result of every weekend metropolis break is extra about exploring town, partying, and having enjoyable, then it’s a few quiet or romantic go to. This boutique design lodge is a superb alternative on a finances (you’ll discover rooms for as little as 65€ per night time!).
It’s steps away from Wenceslas Sq. which is your best choice for a lodge—completely located between Outdated City Prague with its historical past (and dorky Astronomical Clock) and the trendier neighborhoods of Vinohrady and Žižkov.
