“The house in which Franz Kafka was born is now a restaurant bearing his name. While this house is significant to the author’s history, there are other locations throughout Prague that are of interest - like the Franz Kafka Museum in Mala Strana, the Minute House, and his sister’s home at number 22 Golden Lane.”
