Description

The final resting place of Franz Kafka lies in a cemetery that opened in 1890 when the former Jewish cemetery near the TV Tower was closed. To reach his grave, take the main avenue east (signposted) and turn right at row 21. The grave is located at the end of the ‘block’ after making a left turn at the wall. Every year on 3 June, the anniversary of his death, his admirers make a pilgrimage to pay their respects.
