THIS IS MY BEST-SELLING TOUR! I am a very enthusiastic guide that loves her job! As early as the 10th century, Jewish settlers had moved into Prague. Prague (and Czechoslovakia) was once home to the largest population of Ashkenazi Jews anywhere in the world and although nowadays the population is very small - officially the Prague Jewish Community has about 1500 members - the Jewish community left a significant mark on the city. We'll see 4 well-preserved synagogues, including the oldest anywhere north of the Alps. You will also visit the Old Jewish Cemetery, where up to 12 layers of graves lie atop one another; and where you will find the resting place of Rabbi Loew, renowned in legend as the creator of the Golem. Prague is home to the largest collection of Judaica in the world and there is no other collection of historical Jewish artifacts like it anywhere in the world. This is the only Jewish Quarter that the Nazis purposely did not destroy. PLEASE NOTE THIS TOUR IS NOT A HOTEL PICK-UP.
If you choose to do this tour in the morning, I recommend getting an early start (8:45 a.m ) for our 3-hour walking tour. If you wish to do this as an afternoon tour, then we can start at 1-2 p.m. We will visit several famous synagogues: *The 13th-century Old-New Synagogue, the oldest synagogue north of the Alps; *The Pinkas Synagogue, now a hallowed museum dedicated to the Czech victims of the Holocaust; *The exterior of the Klausen Synagogue *Chevrah Kaddisha building and the Old Jewish Cemetery, with its densely packed layers of graves up to 12 levels deep. * The moorish style Spanish synagogue I will be able to answer any questions you have on the local Jewish community during the Nazi occupation, the Communist regime, and the present day. On this tour, you will learn about Jewish life and heritage, both past and present in Prague, while visiting the largest collection of Judaica in the world!
Contact your local guide to know more!!
Walking (it is all in one small area and all synagogues are located very close to each other). For those with mobility issues, we can arrange a car upon request (at additional cost).
