Full description
Few European cities can boast a better preserved Jewish Quarter than Prague. With the help of a Private Guide from Rosotravel, explore Josefov’s fascinating past, hear remarkable stories of resilience, and discover how Jewish heritage has shaped this unique part of the city. Walk through 1,000 years of Jeiwish history, gaining insights you wouldn’t find on your own!

Book a 2-hour private walking tour starting at the World of Franz Kafka, where you’ll learn about the life and works of this renowned Jewish writer. Stroll through the historic Jewish Quarter with your Licensed Guide, passing by the Maisel Synagogue, once used by the Nazis to store Jewish artifacts during World War II. Reflect at the Pinkas Synagogue, a moving Holocaust memorial with over 77,000 victims’ names inscribed on its walls. Admire architectural gems like the Rudolfinum and the 16th-century Jewish Town Hall. Pause at the Old-New Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe, where you’ll hear the legend of the Golem said to be hidden in its attic. Along the way, see Kafka’s former residence at the House of the Last Minute and his playful monument before finishing at the bustling Old Town Square near the famous Astronomical Clock.

Choose the 3-hour option to step inside the Spanish Synagogue with skip-the-line tickets. This beautifully decorated synagogue, inspired by Moorish architecture, dazzles with colorful patterns, golden details, and rich arabesques. Inside, discover an exhibition chronicling Jewish history from the Enlightenment to modern times, offering deeper context to the area’s heritage.

Select the 4-hour option to visit the Old Jewish Cemetery, one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Dating back to the 15th century, this serene yet powerful place holds thousands of layered tombstones, reflecting the community’s enduring presence despite centuries of challenges. Walking through this site evokes both reflection and admiration.

For those wanting a more immersive experience, the 6-hour tour offers the most comprehensive journey. In addition to the Spanish Synagogue and the Old Jewish Cemetery, you’ll enter the Old-New Synagogue, a Gothic treasure from 1270. Inside, admire medieval furnishings, vaulted ceilings, and the notable “Jewish Flag,” deepening your understanding of Jewish traditions and history.

Each tour is designed to match your pace and interests, offering the exclusivity of a Private Guide and the added comfort of skip-the-line access where applicable. Whether you choose a brief introduction or an in-depth exploration, you’ll connect with Prague’s Jewish heritage in a meaningful, unforgettable way.
