U starého hřbitova 5, 110 00 Prague 1, Czech Republic
Tour Josefov, the Jewish quarter of Prague, with an expert guide and visit the Alt-Neu Synagogue, preserved since the 13th century and the spiritual center of the Jewish community in Prague; the Maisel Synagogue, home to a large collection of silverware, previously confiscated from Jewish families by the Nazis; the neo-Moorish Spanish Synagogue, the Pinkas Synagogue where the walls inside are covered with the names of 77,297 Jewish Holocaust victims from Bohemia and Moravia; Klausen Synagogue, a Judaic Baroque building which houses a permanent exhibition showing Jewish customs and traditions and next door is the Ceremonial Hall. The Jewish Cemetery from the 15th century until 1787 was the final resting place for Prague's Jewish community; some 100,000 graves are said to be piled one on top of the other in 12 layers.
