Overview

Franz Kafka attended services at the Old-New Synagogue in Prague. Built in Gothic style in the 13th century, the Old-New Synagogue is the oldest building in the Jewish Town and one of Europe’s oldest synagogues still in use. Come along our Prague Jewish Tours and learn all about the former Prague Jewish Ghetto called Josefov.

Most of the area is made up of the Jewish Museum that includes synagogues and a cemetery. You are certain to have a unique cultural experience while learning about the life and traditions of Jews who were confined to the former Prague Jewish ghetto for more than 600 years. Did you know that Prague is the only European city that kept its Jewish heritage intact during WWII? Take this tour and find out why.

Our tour guides hold the Jewish Museum licence and will guide you though the Jewish Quarter and Museum. All our tours are private so it will be you setting the pace of this private walking tour.

Old Jewish Cemetery

The Old Jewish Cemetery is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe and one of the world's surviving ancient Jewish burial grounds operating from the 15th century to the late 18th century. Approximately 80.000 residents of the ghetto in Prague were buried in its confines. Since the cemetery could not hold that amount, the tombs are layered on top of each other, at one section reaching 12 layers.Among the prominent local personalities buried here is 16th-century rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel. He’s best known for creating a golem or mud figure, which he reportedly summoned to life to seek protection for the local Jewish community against anti-Semitic attacks.

After the ghetto fire of 1689, the Klausen Synagogue was erected on the site in 1694, in the early Baroque style.
