L'Ancienne Nouvelle Synagogue, également appelée Altneuschul, est la plus ancienne synagogue active d'Europe et fait l'objet à la fois d'histoires importantes de la communauté juive de Prague ainsi que de légendes fantastiques. Achevé en 1270 dans un style gothique, c'était l'un des premiers édifices gothiques de Prague.
L'ancien cimetière juif est un cimetière juif de Prague, l'un des plus grands du genre en Europe et l'un des monuments historiques juifs les plus importants de Prague. Il a rempli sa fonction de la première moitié du XVe siècle jusqu'en 1786 et regorge de pierres fantastiques et de maisons funéraires de personnages historiques importants. Parmi les 12 000 pierres ici, se trouve celle marquant la tombe du légendaire rabbin Low de la Renaissance.
Le musée juif de Prague est l'un des musées les plus visités de la capitale tchèque. Sa collection de Judaica est l'une des plus importantes au monde, environ 40 000 objets, 100 000 livres et de nombreuses archives de l'histoire des communautés juives tchèques et moraves, y compris les synagogues historiques de la Renaissance, du baroque et des époques modernes.
L'hôtel de ville juif de Josefov, à Prague, a été construit à côté de l'ancienne nouvelle synagogue au coin de Maiselova et Červená Ulice en 1586 dans un style Renaissance sous le parrainage du maire Mordechai Maisel. Il a acquis sa façade rococo au XVIIIe siècle.
La synagogue Pinkas est la deuxième plus ancienne synagogue de Prague. Ses origines sont liées à la famille Horowitz, une famille juive renommée à Prague. Aujourd'hui, la synagogue est administrée par le Musée juif de Prague et commémore environ 78 000 victimes juives tchèques de la Shoah. Il y a aussi une exposition de dessins d'enfants créés sous la supervision du célèbre professeur d'art du camp de Terezin, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis.
Construite pour la communauté réformée émergente au 19ème siècle, le nom de la fabuleuse synagogue espagnole fait probablement référence au style néo-mauresque dans lequel elle a été construite, qui a été inspiré par l'art de la période arabe de l'histoire espagnole. Ce bâtiment extraordinaire accueille également une exposition fascinante sur l'histoire juive moderne à Prague, en Tchéquie et en Tchécoslovaquie.
Cette synagogue baroque ornée abrite également une impressionnante collection d'œuvres judaïques offrant une expérience vivante de la vie juive à Prague et en Bohême à travers les siècles.

We were delighted with our tour guide, Amalka. She was extremely knowledgable, an excellent communicator( in our case in English) , and extremely personable. We would recommend her without any reservations.

Amalka did the best job anyone could imagine a guide doing. And we were very happy they could move our tour (on their own initiative) to 3 PM instead of 2 PM as our train from Dresden arrived 1.30 PM and this way it was much less stressful and more relaxing.
Thanks very much for your review! We're so glad you had an excellent tour with Amalka. She is a fantastic guide!

We took a ‘Stories of Jewish Prague’ tour with Nina who is a scholar of Judaic Studies. The tour was wonderful- very interesting, full of insightful information - Nina is a great storyteller and she kept the tour very lively and engaging. In addition to being a very knowledgeable and attentive guide, she also seems to be a very nice and fun person. Nina is passionate about the subject matter and its obvious to anyone listening - she was receptive to our questions and tailored the tour around our interests. Insight Cities did not disappoint, they are a great tour company with high quality tour guides conducting very thoughtfully created fun tours. Communication leading to our tours was stellar, Bonita was very accommodating, extremely helpful, she went above and beyond helping us. Overall, we had a wonderful time and enthusiastically recommend this tour - You will learn and see something new and fascinating, guaranteed.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and plug for us. We love our touring company and our whole network of terrific guides in Prague and neighboring capitals. It's been a long ordeal for all of us in tourism, no surprise. It's just a joy to welcome travelers again. I think you were the first American group to show up in Prague in a year. We really appreciate it!
