A Must-See in Prague: The Jewish Quarter, Synagogues and Old Jewish Cemetery

One of Europe’s most remarkable Jewish heritage experiences

The Jewish Museum in Prague is not a single building. It takes you through Josefov, Prague’s former Jewish Town, where centuries of Jewish history, architecture, faith and memory can still be experienced in their original urban setting.

This is not one museum. It is Jewish Prague.

With one ticket, you can visit four historic synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery, all within walking distance of each other in the heart of Prague.

Unlike most museums, the Jewish Museum in Prague unfolds across a group of historic sites. The experience begins in the streets of Josefov and continues inside places where generations of Prague’s Jewish community prayed, learned, remembered and shaped the history of the city.

Step inside a medieval synagogue that has served the community for more than 700 years. Walk among thousands of historic tombstones. Discover a richly decorated Moorish Revival interior and enter a memorial bearing the names of about 80,000 Jewish victims of the Shoah from Bohemia and Moravia.

Architecture, memory, tradition and European history in one walk.

Each place tells a different part of the story. Together, they offer a journey through centuries of Jewish life in Prague — not in a reconstructed setting, but in the historic quarter where much of that story unfolded.

One ticket opens the whole story

You do not need a separate ticket for each synagogue or for the Old Jewish Cemetery. The main Prague Jewish Town ticket gives access to the Maisel Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, Old-New Synagogue, Spanish Synagogue and the Old Jewish Cemetery. It also includes temporary exhibitions in the Robert Guttmann Gallery.

The ticket is valid for three consecutive opening days. Visit the principal sites in one day or return and continue your journey later.

See the highlights or take your time

Allow approximately 2–3 hours for the principal highlights and a walk through the Old Jewish Cemetery. Visitors who want to explore the exhibitions in greater depth can use the ticket across three consecutive opening days.

This flexibility makes the museum easy to include in a Prague itinerary. Begin later in the day, visit several sites and return the following morning. There is no need to rush through the synagogues or reduce the cemetery to a quick stop.

In the heart of Prague

The principal sites are located close to one another in Josefov, Prague’s former Jewish Town, only a few minutes’ walk from Old Town Square. The visit unfolds naturally through historic streets rather than inside a single museum building.

The Jewish Museum in Prague is open every day except Saturdays and Jewish holidays. Opening hours vary during the year and may differ between individual sites, particularly the Old-New Synagogue.
