The German Embassy is located in Prague's Lesser Quarter, or Mala Strana. The gorgeous building has gardens around the back. In these gardens you'll find a sculpture by David Cerny of a golden Trabant that pay tribute to the thousands of East Germans who slipped into West Germany via the German Embassy in Prague, leaving behind their East German cars.

An additional piece of trivia: David Cerny's sculptures can be seen in various locations throughout Prague. He has left his mark on the Zizkov TV Tower by attaching to it crawling babies. In another area of Prague, a man hangs by one hand from the roof of a storefont.
