Our guide
You can no longer buy a separate ticket for the Old-New Synagogue - since 2024, one Jewish Museum ticket opens all five synagogues plus the Old Jewish Cemetery, and it's valid for three consecutive days. Every site is a few minutes' walk from the others in the Josefov quarter.
Our recommendations
- Base yourself in the historic Josefov quarter, the heart of the old Jewish community and its kosher restaurants.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Prague
Josefov is a visiting quarter, not a restaurant street like Paris. The kosher King David hotel and Chabad carry the meals - book ahead in high season.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
