Overview

This walking tour takes 4 hours. Entrance fee to the Jewish Museum is 32 EUR per person. For students 26 EUR per person. It is not included in the tour price. You can easily pay by credit card.

Josefov in Prague is one of the most valuable Jewish sites in the world. One of the most visited museums in the whole world.

The quiet and melancholy atmosphere of the Old Jewish Cemetery from 1439 A. D. leaves an incredelible impression.

In the Pinkas synagogue, now a monument to victims of the Holocaust, the walls are hand-painted with the names of Czech and Moravian Jews who perished in the Second World War. Upstairs there is a breathtaking exposition of drawings made by children in Terezin.

We are going to see all the synagogues, including an ortodox Old-New Synagogue. It is the oldest preserved synagogue in Europe from 1270 A. D. Oldest synagogue in the world outside of Izrael. Still serves as a house of prayers.
