Jewish Prague: Synagogues & Cemetery Small Group Afternoon Tours

Despre activitate

Most tours of Prague's Jewish Quarter concentrate on showing you the monuments.

Our aim is to help you understand them.

Choose from morning and afternoon departures on selected days.

Understanding Jewish Prague is for travellers who want more than a list of dates and buildings. Follow over 1,000 years of Jewish Prague, from the medieval community through the Holocaust and post-war era to the present day, and discover how Prague's Jewish community helped shape the city's cultural, intellectual, commercial and religious life.

Admission is included to the sites visited, including the Old-New and Spanish Synagogues and Old Jewish Cemetery.

The tour is led by an officially qualified local guide with specialist accreditation for Prague's Jewish Quarter, bringing these remarkable places to life.

With a maximum of 12 guests, the tour remains relaxed and conversational, with plenty of time for questions.

Itinerar

  1. Maisel Synagogue

    20 min Intrarea inclusă

    Discover how Prague's Jewish community grew from a small medieval settlement into one of Europe's most influential Jewish centres. Learn about the remarkable life of Mordecai Maisel, whose wealth and vision transformed the Jewish Town during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II. Through exceptional artefacts and exhibitions, you'll gain an understanding of Jewish life in Bohemia from the Middle Ages to the modern era and the important role the community played in the development of Prague.

  2. Pinkas Synagogue

    25 min Intrarea inclusă

    One of the most moving places in Prague, the Pinkas Synagogue serves as a memorial to 77,297 Jewish men, women and children from Bohemia and Moravia murdered during the Holocaust, their names covering the walls throughout the building.

    Discover the remarkable story behind this memorial, from its creation in the 1950s to its closure during the Communist period and its painstaking restoration after the Velvet Revolution.

    Upstairs, the drawings and poems created by children imprisoned at Terezín provide a deeply personal insight into lives interrupted by persecution and war, making this one of the most powerful and unforgettable moments of the tour.

  3. Old Jewish Cemetery

    25 min Intrarea inclusă

    stablished in the early 15th century, the Old Jewish Cemetery is one of Europe's oldest surviving Jewish burial grounds and one of the most significant sites in Prague's Jewish Quarter. Because Jewish tradition forbids the disturbance of graves and space within the ghetto was limited, generations were buried in successive layers, creating the extraordinary landscape of leaning and crowded tombstones seen today.

    Discover the stories of rabbis, scholars, merchants and community leaders who shaped Jewish life in Prague, including Rabbi Judah Loew, traditionally associated with the legend of the Golem. More than a cemetery, this remarkable place offers a deeper understanding of Jewish beliefs, traditions and the continuity of a community that endured for centuries.

  4. The Old-New Synagogue

    25 min Intrarea inclusă

    Completed around 1270, the Old-New Synagogue is Europe's oldest active synagogue and has served Prague's Jewish community for more than 750 years. Its remarkable Gothic architecture and enduring religious traditions make it one of the most important Jewish buildings in the world.

    Discover the history, symbolism and legends surrounding this extraordinary place, including its association with the famous Golem legend. Unlike many historic monuments, the Old-New Synagogue remains a living place of worship, demonstrating that Jewish life in Prague is not simply part of the past but continues to this day.

  5. Spanish Synagogue, Jewish Museum in Prague

    35 min Intrarea inclusă

    Widely regarded as Prague's most spectacular synagogue, the Spanish Synagogue is renowned for its breathtaking Moorish Revival architecture and richly decorated interior. Although Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain after the Alhambra Decree of 1492 found refuge in Prague, the synagogue takes its name not from these immigrants but from its architectural style, inspired by medieval Moorish Spain.

    Built in 1868 on the site of Prague's oldest synagogue, it reflects a period of growing emancipation and confidence within Prague's Jewish community. Its outstanding exhibitions trace Jewish life from the Enlightenment through the 19th and 20th centuries, providing a fitting conclusion to the story of more than 1,000 years of Jewish life in Prague.
