Old Jewish Cemetery View

Even with the city bustling just outside, the walls make this beautiful, park-like cemetery feel peaceful. It's right in the middle of town, with old graves, statues, and mausoleums. Getting there is easy: the subway's red line, buses, and trams all stop at the Flora shopping center, just a two-minute walk away.

Hundreds of tombstones are well preserved here, set among relatively modern buildings. You can walk around the graves and read some of the words on the stones if you know the language. It's not one of Prague's cheapest sights, but it's considered a must-see, especially if you're visiting the Old Town.

The cemetery and the old gravestones are set in a lovely park-like space, with surrounding buildings adding to the atmosphere. We bought a pass covering this site along with several museums and synagogues in the Jewish quarter, and really enjoyed visiting.

A little fog made the place feel like something out of a horror movie. It's creepy, striking, and beautiful, and easily our favorite spot in Prague. I could have spent hours looking around and taking photos, but our combined ticket for all the Jewish sites meant we had to move on. You're only allowed to walk along the path around the graves and a little way inside, not close to the graves and tombstones themselves.
