The sculpture of Franz Kafka is very cool. It is a large shiny metallic structure in a small square and every few minutes twists and turns, which was an unexpected bonus. Free to see - there are also coffee shops around. Well worth a look.

The statue in itself is stunning, but it spins across different ways and each of those layers spin at different speed or with delays or the direction of spin is opposite. Eventually, they will all come back together at their correct orientation. And that amounts to an amazing show. This statue is located beside the Quadrio shopping mall, so definitely a popular place and there will always be crowds in the area.

Franz Kafka Statue locates outside a building at a modern area in Prague. It is free to visit and it rotates every hour on the hour. It takes a few minutes for the metal plates to rotate and reassemble into a head again. It is fun to see.

Wanted to see the Kafka head as I had heard so much about it . It is a mechanical marvel and well worth seeing . It only happens on the hour so time it properly as part of your day . We saw it at night and it was impressive . Busy with tourists which might explain the number of dodgy characters hanging about . Be aware of who is suddenly standing too close to you and it will be fine . Prague seemed a very safe city and this was the only place where I was aware of people watching the tourists and not the attraction .

I had this down as an attraction to see when in Prague but didn't research before I went. If I had, I would've known that it starts on the hour between 8am and 9pm. It goes for 15 minutes then stops. Had I known this, I would've planned my visit there to coincide with this. We had to wait 30 minutes so we went to fast food joint nearby and had a coffee while waiting. Its another David Cerny statue that obviously rotates around by use of electric motors. When it starts up, its pretty cool to watch but after about 5 minutes, the novelty wears off as it gets pretty repetitive. It is still an impressive statue and feat of engineering and would recommend a stop by to have a look. Just ensure that you remember, it starts on the hour and only goes for 15 minutes.

This is one of the most unique pieces I've ever seen. The statue rotates for 15 minutes every hour, from 8 am to 9 pm, so make sure you arrive there on time, not to wait for long for the show. It is located in the back garden of a commercial center and I recommend you to enjoy the show from 1st floor of the building, as you'll have a better sight.

A cool piece of art ! I took a table in the restaurant Aroma right by it, to enjoy the movement twice. Easy to find, free, different during short business trip you don’t often get to see things so I like the fact the art was out door and free to everyone.

This Head of Franz Kafka is the most distinctive sculpture in the public space of Prague. Since 2016, we can admire this idea of 42 rotating metal plates that consistently reveal and unreveal the face of Franz Kafka. The statue moves for 15 minutes, every hour on the hour. Location: Intersection of Vladislavova and Charvátova street, metro Národní třída

This was so interesting! It wasn't on anyone's list of stuff to do, so I'm happy for TripAdvisor's recommendations. Definitely find this square, and wait until the top of an hour. It's a 15-minute show that mesmerizes. Not far from the Dancing House, so you can see both in one visit.

A beautiful rotating metal statue of Franz Kafka , made by the artist David Cerni . After the famous Jewish German writer That died in 1924 . Go there every round hour to see it rotating and getting different shape every second. Don’t miss .
