Welcome to the Jewish Museum in Prague!

The Jewish Museum in Prague is the third oldest of its kind in the world – not a single building, but a remarkable ensemble of historic synagogues, monuments, and exhibitions located in the former Jewish Quarter, Josefov, in Prague’s Old Town.

With the Prague Jewish Town Ticket, visitors gain access to the most iconic sites of Jewish history and culture, including:

->  Old-New Synagogue – the oldest active synagogue in Europe. 
->  Old Jewish Cemetery – one of the most evocative historic burial sites in the world
->  Spanish Synagogue – a stunning example of Moorish Revival architecture

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or curious traveler, this immersive experience offers a profound connection to centuries of Jewish life, resilience, and tradition.

Hate crowds? The best time to Visit the Jewish Museum in Prague!

This season offers an excellent opportunity to visit the Jewish Museum in Prague without long queues or crowds. Visitor numbers are generally lower in January - mid-March period, allowing for a calmer and more comfortable experience.

All synagogues and museum buildings are heated, making visits pleasant even in colder weather. The quieter atmosphere also allows visitors to spend more time exploring the exhibitions, the Old Jewish Cemetery, and the historic synagogues at an unhurried pace.

Winter and early spring are therefore an ideal time to experience the Jewish Museum in Prague in peace and without rush.

Holocaust Remembrance Day: Remembering the Names, the Lives, and the Silence

Holocaust Remembrance Day is not marked by celebration or spectacle. It is a day of pause — a moment set aside to remember six million Jewish men, women, and children whose lives were destroyed, and to reflect on what remains when voices are silenced and entire worlds erased.
In Prague, remembrance carries particular weight. The city’s synagogues, cemetery, and memorial spaces bear witness to centuries of Jewish life — and to the devastating rupture caused by the Holocaust. To remember here is not abstract; it is rooted in names, places, and absence.
