A trip to Prague — the complete guide for the observant traveler

Three days in Prague: Josefov — the best-preserved Jewish quarter in the world, Charles Bridge and the Old Town, and Prague Castle above it all.

The suggested day-by-day itinerary

1

Day 1 — Josefov

The Altneuschul (the oldest active synagogue in Europe), the old Jewish cemetery, the Jewish Museum, and the Maharal's grave.

What to see

Where to eat

The Jewish Museum combined ticket gets you into all the synagogues.

2

Day 2 — The Old Town

Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock and the Old Town Square.

What to see

Where to eat

Charles Bridge is empty and quiet before 8am — worth getting up for.

3

Day 3 — Prague Castle

The castle complex, St Vitus Cathedral, and the view over the red rooftops. A meal before Shabbat.

What to see

Where to eat

A short cruise on the Vltava gives you the best view of Charles Bridge and the castle, without the crowds on the bridge itself.
