Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka spent most of his life in Prague, even though he always felt like a stranger there - a German speaking Jew in a predominately Czech Catholic town. Consequently, there are many sites in Prague that are of some interest to fans of Kafka's work.
Places that were personally occupied by Kafka include his birthplace, which is on the edge of Old Town Square; Dum U minuty, where he lived from 1889 to 1896; the Little Blue Cottage in Golden Lane, where he lived from 1916 to 1917; and the oppressive insurance office, now the Mercure Hotel, where Kafka worked from 1908 to 1922.
