Kafka in Prague

I didn't go on a walking tour, but in 2022 I visited the Franz Kafka Museum: https://kafkamuseum.cz/home/. It's not a traditional literary museum. The curators must have made it surreal, absurd and dark to reflect Kafka's worldview, but the museum isn't all existentialism. It presents material in a straight fashion on Kafka, too. It's worth a visit, but be prepared for a Kafkaesque experience!

We walked to the "The Head of Franz Kafka also known as the Statue of Kafka, [which] is an outdoor kinetic sculpture by David Černý depicting Bohemian German-language writer Franz Kafka". It rotates every hour if I remember correctly. It was nice but it wasn't exactly a highlight of Prague. Still it was a must see for my wife and me.

Growing up, I remember being utterly frustrated with Kafka. You'd invest hours and hours reading a book like the Castle only to realize hundreds of pages in that it wasn't got resolve in a way my poor teenage brain could handle.

Here are a couple Kafka jokes to tide you over until someone who knows Prague better than me gives you a better response:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

It had been crossing so long it could not remember. As it stopped in
the middle to look back, a car sped by, spinning it around.
Disoriented, the chicken realized it could no longer tell which way it
was going. It stands there still.

And the classic:

“Knock knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“Knock knock.”

“Who’s there?” Alois asked again, more insistently.

“Knock knock.”

And so it went for years. It wasn’t until his deathbed Alois realized
he was on the outside of the door.

Trivia site for Prague:

The Hotel Century (MGallery) used to house an insurance company. Kafka worked for that company from 1908-1922.

And this one had some addresses of Kafka sites and history: https://www.budapesttimes.hu/travel/through-the-troubled-eyes-of-franz-kafka/

Speaking from experience I think you'll find it difficult to find regularly scheduled tours about Kafka because the subject matter isn't exactly classed as "popular" so you'll be looking for somebody who has it as an interest. This is something that is usually done in private tours. So then you'd be looking at a timeline of the places he lived (bearing in mind several of these places have since been demolished), early life, education, working life, his family, his death, publication, location of Kafka works etc and all of this interspersed with a timeline of his writing etc. It would be a hugely specialist tour which includes the Old Town, New Town and Jewish Quarter. So to make the most of a tour you should already have some knowledge of his life and works and a firm agreement of the content of any tour hence why it normally has to be private.

Or, there could be quite a few packaged Kafka tours. Which is the best, no idea, but several worth checking out. Sounds like a great theme for a tour. https://www.google.com/search?q=prague+kafka+tour&sca_esv=c80bbe1f62332bda&source=hp&ei=jQMdaIj8Nr26wPAP8tmYEQ&oq=prague+kafka+tour&gs_lp=EhFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocCIRcHJhZ3VlIGthZmthIHRvdXIyBRAAGIAEMgsQABiABBiGAxiKBTIIEAAYgAQYogQyBRAAGO8FMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogRI5E1Q9gpYjElwAXgAkAEAmAGfAqAB6BGqAQYyLjE0LjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhGgAtwSqAIAwgIFEC4YgATCAgsQLhiABBjRAxjHAcICCxAuGIAEGMcBGK8BwgIGEAAYFhgewgIFECEYoAHCAggQABgWGAoYHpgDAfEFztxFHJDACAGSBwYxLjE1LjGgB9qTAbIHBjEuMTUuMbgH3BI&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp
