OVERVIEW
Pray in one of the oldest synagogues in Europe and explore the ancient mystical past on a Jewish tour of Prague. Prague, a city with a magical Jewish history, is also the destination for walking among colorful baroque style buildings and Medieval structures.
Prague is one of the absolute best destinations for Jewish travel. Jewish quarter Prague tours are like no other Jewish travel experience. Its beautiful synagogues are all part of one huge Jewish museum. The famous cemetery is unlike any other cemetery in the world, and the sites are filled with mystery, including the mystery of the Golem, the famous creation of the Maharal of Prague.
