The literary heroes of Prague

In the historical city of Prague, cultural icons like Franz Kafka and Antonin Dvorak have a certain cachet that is lacking in Hollywood celebrities.

THE Czech Republic’s capital city of Prague is touted in tourist literature as the cultural capital of Europe. While some may baulk at such a description, pointing to its reputation as a sex trade hotspot, I don’t see how this can detract from the city’s well-deserved reputation as a cultural centre.
