Franz Kafka Museum
One of Prague's most famous citizens, renowned author Franz
Kafka was born in the city in 1883 in a house on the Old Town
Square, next to the Church of St Nicholas. That house now houses a
museum devoted to the author, containing original manuscripts,
photos and diaries, and delves in depth into Prague's influence on
the man and his works like The Metamorphosis and The Trial. There
are 3D installations and audiovisual exhibitions, as well as
detailed biographical information on Kafka himself.

Language
Czech is the official language but English and German are
also widely spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Czech crown, locally known as the
Koruna (CZK), which is divided into 100 haler. Most credit cards
including American Express, Diners Club, Visa and MasterCard are
accepted, but it is best to have cash handy when travelling away
from Prague and the main tourist centres. Travellers cheques and
foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
some hotels; commission is highest in hotels. Banks are closed on
weekends. ATMs (known as 'bankomats') are becoming more common in
Prague and are probably the best way to obtain local currency at a
good rate and without commission. The Czech Republic is still cheap
compared to the rest of Europe, though the gap is closing.
