Walking Trabant Car At German Embassy

Velvyslanectví Spolkové republiky Německo

Why locals love it

Not so many people know about this funny sculpture since it is well hidden in a garden of German Embassy. However, if you make few steps through a playground nearby, you will have a chance to see it. It was created by a famous, controversial Czech artist David Černý.

Why you should visit it

This sculpture called Quo Vadis ("Where are you going") is not only a fun piece of art presenting typical East German car called Trabant. It is also a symbol of exodus of cca 4000 East Germans who arrived to Prague during communism (in 1989) and applied for asylum and citizenship at West Germany Embassy.

Special tip

Pass the embassy and walk cca 100 m uphill, then turn left. You will see a playground. Go to the fence from where you will see the car.
