Jewish Museum in Prague, Prague

#2 of 189 in Museums in Czech Republic

History Museum Museum

Small but rich in cultural attractions, Jewish Museum in Prague counts among Europe's best-preserved ghettos. Paradoxically, Hitler's intent to create an "exotic museum of an extinct race" here served to ensure the small enclave's continued existence through the destruction of World War II. Within the confines of the atmospheric neighborhood, situated within the old town, you can explore six historical synagogues and a medieval cemetery, one of the oldest and largest surviving Jewish graveyards in the world. Start your tour at the compact quarter's 13th-century Gothic synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe and a rumored resting place of Jewish folklore's famous Golem. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Jewish Museum in Prague and many more Prague attractions: make an itinerary online using Inspirock's Prague family vacation planner.

a great place to visit for historic and rare antiquities. It can easily be seen in under half an hour and is close to many other attractions. more »

방문한 날 비가 내려서인지, 소설 프라하의 묘지 때문인지 막연하게 생각만 하고 있던 이미지가 그대로 느껴졌어요. 북적대는 구시가지와는 확연히 다른 차분한 분위기를 느낄 수 있으니 꼭 방문해 보시기 바랍니다. 입구쪽에서 프란츠카프카가 태어난 곳도 발견할 수 있어서 의미있었어요. more »

Rainy day, visited the cemetery of Prague, the novel is vaguely thought and felt the image was intact. The old town and is a distinct relaxing atmosphere, so please be sure to visit. The entrance from the Franz Kafka was born, meaning I had to find a place I've been.

The visit was actually planned not at all, but to visit the old Jewish cemetery, we have purchased a combination ticket for 330 kronor and seen thus all synagogues, museums and the cemetery except synagogue, for which one probably needs an another (own) ticket the star Nova. Because the most synagogues are more museums is informed very much. Therefore, it takes half a day to see everything. For the cemetery you have to put on a Kippah, which exist for a donation to the Fund. However, that is so easy that it falls down at the slightest puff of wind. Without further ADO, we have a judge Kippah worried that firmly sat and looked even better especially!

Worth the money (500czk) to see everything. The altneushul (old new synagogue) puts the price from 330 to 500 and probably wouldn't be worth it for people who aren't very interested as the building is a working synagogue with no exhibitions and is therefore quite simple inside. However for 170czk more it would be worth it for anyone interested in the 14th century building, or for visiting Jews who would like to see what has been a massively important building in the faith. There is no access to the women's part of the synagogue so you can only access the main room and the hallway.

A great way to look back in time while visiting the castle. It can be a bit crowded and the walkways are thin, but well worth a visit.

Place was okay but little bit dull. The flow of story line was not in a chronological basis. Little bit of stories here and there with little coherence.

A very pretty room and very nicely decorated, and upstairs a lot of interesting items of the second world war and nazi occupation... If you like this period or are interested in history, go for it!
