 A taste of our history

 Our marketing organization was formerly known as Prague Information Service (PIS). PIS was established in early 1958 as an information and educational institution to support tourism in Prague and was one of the city's public-benefit corporations. Since January 2015, the organization has used the “Prague City Tourism” marketing brand exclusively. It has thus become a modern marketing agency and service organization. In 2018, the Prague City Council decided to transform the public-benefit corporation into a joint-stock company, a change which took effect on 1 July 2020.

We were there as a part of Franz Kafka quest so we've seen some interesting facts about the monument. Just look down and you'll see it too. Or play this amazing game as well.

Quite a lot of meaning behind this seemingly bizarre bronze statue. Best to read up on it or take a tour guide. Otherwise if you're in the Jewish quarters its worth having a look.

This monument to Franz Kafka depicts the man riding on the shoulders of a faceless and almost formless ethereal individual. The scene is a reference to the second chapter of "Description of a Struggle", where the protagonist of the story leaps onto the shoulders of his acquaintance and begins riding his like a horse. Utterly surreal and that's probably what makes this sculpture so fun. The sculpture is a little off the main tourist circuit in Prague in the Old Jewish district, but it's worth a look if you have time.

If you’re coming just to visit this statue, then it’s not worth of your time. But if you are coming to visit the old Jewish community quarter and to see more things in here then this statue is something you cannot miss because you will definitely have to pass near it to get to the Spanish synagogue.

Bronze monument of Franz Kafka located in old Jewish town. Quiet area. Can be visited any hour of the day. A very interesting statue from one of Kafkas’ character.

Its absolutely worth a visit. Its right in the old town and if you take one of the walking tours in the city, its definitely one of the sights. The symbolism behind this statue is amazing and to some extent I felt it fits with Kafka's life story. So yes Don't miss it.

Very unique statue of Franz Kafka… almost kafkaesque when you stare at it long enough. If you are a fan of his writings you should come see it in person.
