Free Tour of the Old City and Jewish quarter

The old town is the heart of Prague. It is full of majestic buildings that bear witness to almost a thousand years of architectural history. In our Free Tour Prague: Old Town and Jewish Quarter we will discover the most important and spectacular. It is the free tour that we most recommend.

Our attention is drawn to the Gothic style of the tower of the old Town Hall (astronomical clock tower) and that of the Church of Tyn. Also the Renaissance, Baroque and Modernist facades of the surrounding palaces.

The old Jewish ghetto in Prague existed between the 13th and 18th centuries. It is one of the best preserved in Europe. It has the oldest synagogue on the continent, the StaroNova (Old New). Also the Spanish Synagogue, which is perhaps the most beautiful.

Its old cemetery, unique in the whole planet, preserves intact more than three hundred years of funeral rites, which motivates the coming of thousands of visitors, academics, archaeologists and scientists.

The Jewish quarter of Josefov has been a source of inspiration for artists such as Jorge Luis Borges and Franz Kafka.
