Literature nerds rejoice! As well as being able to eat at Milan Kundera's (
visit link) favourite cafe, you can dine with another ghost of Prague's literary past, Franz Kafka (
visit link) , at Cafe Slavia (former Czech president Vaclav Havel (
visit link) used to frequent the Slavia in his dissident days as well).
Opened in 1881, the cafe has historically been the hangout of the intellectually hip, attracting writers and their groupies, as well as dissidents and intellectuals during communist times, to its Art Deco halls.
