Prague- The City of Kafka
Duchess Libussa founded Prague in 722 BC according to a popular tradition, but it really grew out of settlements forming around two castles of Hradschin and Wysechand to which a German settlement was added in the 12th century. Until the downfall of Napoleon, the city continued to suffer more or less directly from the troubles in which house of Austria was involved.
Since then, however, it has made rapid strides. Prague's sightseeing travel is popular as it offers a highly picturesque appearance from the beauty of its site, and the numerous lofty towers which rise above many noble palaces, public buildings and bridges of the city and rightly vindicates the fact that an Eastern Europe Tour will remain incomplete without a visit to Prague.
Dark and haunted by a gory past the city can transform you. Visit the grave of Tycho Brahi at the old Hussite church, the Tyne Church, St. Vitus Cathedral at the Prague castle and on the hour go to the Astronomical Clock where at every hour a bell tolls and mechanical figures dance out.
Finally do not forget to be at Kafka memorial near the Old-New Synagogue, the Café Slavia where Kafka wrote in his nightmarish style.
