15 Unique Things to Do in Prague (Updated 2025)

"Located where Vezenská and Dušni Streets meet in the Jewish Quarter, Jaroslav Róna’s surreal statue of Kafka sitting on the shoulders of a headless suited man (an allusion to his story “Description of a Struggle”) is striking and slightly disorienting; I found it especially memorable knowing the Kafka Society’s prize for writers is a small version of this sculpture." - Matthew Kepnes
