The combination of sites is nice because each of them has a unique focus. But wow is the pass pricey. I will say that the young woman at the ticket office was super friendly and very helpful. If you're in a group, I recommend not everyone getting an audio guide. During the walk, focus on reading the placards and listen to the audio guide later.
Very informative, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Not too strenuous a walk. Guide took time to answer questions.
This was a fascinating experience. Especially to learn about another culture. Also interesting to learn more about the Holocaust.
There are some great historical sites to see here, along with many beautiful buildings and stories of the Jewish community in Prague. At 500 CZK, the ticket price seemed a bit high, but the ticket desk sells a pass that supposedly grants access to eight different sites in the Jewish Town. The ticket seller assured us this pass covered all attractions in the Jewish Town. However, it turned out that two of the attractions were temporarily closed for renovation. The least the Jewish Cemetery ticket desk could have done was inform us about the closures. Ideally, they should have told us about the closures and reduced the ticket fee. When we asked a guard at one of the closed attractions (Klausen Synagogue) where the entrance was, he arrogantly pointed to an entrance beside him, which was full of craftsmen and building materials. When I mentioned that no one had informed us about the closure when we bought the tickets, he took the small map we were given at the ticket desk and showed us that these two attractions were grayed out on the back of the map, with thin gray text below each indicating they were closed. On the front of the paper, all attractions were listed without any indication of closure. We bought the tickets and only received this map afterward, so we had no chance to see this information beforehand. Later, while walking around the Jewish Town, we passed a door with a sign that said: "BE A MENSCH," a Jewish phrase that means to be a decent, honorable, and responsible human being. It’s about embodying integrity, kindness, and respect in your actions and interactions with others – qualities we did not encounter during our visit to the Jewish Quarter on this day.
Some great history here. And beautiful buildings and stories of the Jewish history in Prague. At 500 CZK it was at the top of what it’s valued, but be wary as the canny ticket desk subversively sells you the audio guide to, taking it to 680 CZK. It’s by no means essential to have this, but is clearly a quick buck for the business.
Our guide from “Get Your Guide Prague” was fantastic. She did a brilliant job of showing us how to navigate around the Jewish Quarter and gave some amazing context on this specific community. It was perfect for people like us who prefer to navigate ourselves around the sites at our own pace and based on what we find most interesting. All tickets were included and allowed us to skip the line in front of giant tour groups. There was also so much information on the walls at every stop so it’s very easy to learn about the history without having a dedicated guide.
Great experience with just enough information and extra time to explore on your own. The guide walked us around the Jewish area and gave us information on each temple and what exhibitions to expect in each and other relevant information which was super helpful for us. We received a map of the area and some suggested dining options. We ended up eating at the 5th delicatessen and it was yummy.
Well prepared guide, interesting informations about the Jewish community in Prague. We liked going around the ghetto and visiting the synagogues
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! If you would like to have a guided tour, but also want time to explore on your own, then this is perfect for you! Our guide, Martin, met us at the ticket office and walked around the old town square and the Jewish Quarter with us. He explained the history of the Jewish Quarter and explained exactly where each attraction is and why it is important. We were then left to our own devices, with our ticket to gain entry into the attractions. This was great because Martin had told us a lot of information and we were very well informed on the area, but were able to stop and start our walk whenever we wanted. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
The cemetery is not really worth it. Stone tombstones piled up on a piece of land surrounded by buildings. We saw the audio guide for over €10 and I found it monotonous and boring. It is a money pit. I do not recommend it
Very interesting, beautiful buildings and synagogues. Unique old cemetery. Very friendly staff.
A scam. We bought tickets on a late Thursday. They told us they were worth three days. We tried to download the audio guide at the time of purchase and it proved impossible, so we told the girl that we would come back the next day. We went in the afternoon and found two closed and a third, Old New which closes on Fridays and Saturdays, and we were not advised of any of these circumstances. We went to the store to say it, and they told us where we had bought, that they told them, we told them that it had not, and they stayed so panchas. We weren't offered any compensation. The honorable thing is just for a few moments.
Guided introduction was OK, but the audio guide was very limited. To enjoy a visit to the Jewish Quarter, detailed explanations are necessary.
Our guide was great The introduction in French was very interesting To do without hesitation
Highly recommended if you want to get some information about the Jewish quarter and also explore it on your own and at your own pace. I had booked a German introduction at 9.40 a.m., but I got there earlier. Big praise to Zora, the German-speaking guide. She was already there when I arrived and since I was the only one who had booked a German tour, she took the time to explain everything to me in detail, show me the location of the synagogues, answer my questions, etc. After the detailed introduction by Zora, I then explored the Jewish quarter on my own. In my opinion, a visit to the Jewish quarter is absolutely recommended, as you get an insight into the history of the Jewish community in Bohemia and Moravia up to the present day, but also into burial customs. A visit to the Jewish cemetery is a must! The entrance ticket is valid for several days, i.e. you don't necessarily have to see everything in one day. The order is somewhat random, except for the Pinkas Synagogue and the Jewish Cemetery, as the entrance and exit are at different points. However, I would recommend following the order given, as the exhibitions in the individual synagogues build on one another thematically and are coordinated. Anyone who visits the Old-New Synagogue also receives a 50 CKr discount on their visit to the Jerusalem Synagogue, which is not included in the package.
Visit the Jewish Quarter with Feodor. A very nice guide with very advanced knowledge related to his involvement in the community. Visit the neighborhood and several synagogues. Detailed and interesting explanations.
