Full description
The most frequented museum in the Czech Republic, Prague’s Jewish Museum is made up of four synagogues, the Old Jewish Cemetery, an art gallery, and the Old Ceremonial Hall exhibition space. The Old-New Synagogue, though not part of the museum, is another sight not to be missed. 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. Prague is the only European city that kept its Jewish heritage intact during World War II and you will discover why.
This Prague Jewish Quarter tour is the ideal way to find out more about one of Prague's most fascinating districts. You will uncover the history behind the shops, synagogues, and cemeteries saved during World War II thanks to Hitler's desire to establish a museum dedicated to an extinct race.
During this private walking tour, you will discover the Old Jewish Cemetery (Europe's oldest) and numerous synagogues including the famous Old New Synagogue, and Pinkas Synagogue.
