Did you know Franz Kafka was born in Prague? We’ll visit his birthplace or his elementary school. Then we’ll head to the old Jewish quarter to visit the oldest synagogue in Central Europe where we’ll find out more about Bohemian Jewish traditions, and nearby, see the Old Jewish Cemetery with graves in twelve layers.
