Full description

Amidst the turmoil of World War II, Prague stood as a remarkable exception – the only European city where Jewish heritage survived largely intact. This resilience left us with an extraordinary legacy: the Prague Jewish Quarter, filled with impeccably preserved synagogues, monuments, and cultural treasures. On this Prague Jewish Quarter tour, you’ll walk the cobbled streets of what was once called the Fifth Quarter. From the haunting Old Jewish Cemetery to the iconic Old-New Synagogue and the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague, you’ll discover the enduring history of the Jewish community and hear the moving stories of its most influential figures.

I highly suggest this tour! The food was delicious and we couldn’t have had a better tour guide. Jakub was great! He was very knowledgable and kept us all engaged thru out the entire tour. We even had an extra person (drunk lady) try to join us. Lol. We all had a very enjoyable evening.
