About Old Jewish Cemetry
Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery is one of the most important Jewish heritage sites in Europe. It is also one of the most visited tourist attractions in Prague. The cemetery is located in the Josefov district of Prague, which is also home to the city’s six synagogues. The cemetery was founded in the early 15th century and used until 1787. It is estimated that over 100,000 people are buried in the cemetery, including some of the most prominent figures in Jewish history. The cemetery is a maze of narrow, twisting lanes and overgrown tombstones. It is easy to get lost among the graves, so it is advisable to take a map with you. There are several interesting sights to see in the cemetery, including the tombstone of Rabbi Loew, the famous Maharal of Prague, and the grave of Golem, the mythical creature created by Rabbi Loew. The Old Jewish Cemetery is open daily from 9am to 6pm. Admission is free. FAQ's on Old Jewish Cemetry
