Prague's Jewish Quarter, Synagogues & Cemetery: Spanish Guided Tour

About this experience

This Spanish-language guided tour covers Josefov, Prague's historic Jewish Quarter, tracing a community whose presence in the city dates back to the early medieval period. The quarter's history includes persecution beginning in 1096, cycles of forced relocation, and near-destruction under Nazi occupation, when Hitler planned to repurpose the neighbourhood as a museum of an extinct race. That the buildings and records survived is itself a significant part of the story. The tour runs for two and a half hours, departing from Náměstí Jana Palacha, and is led by a Spanish-speaking guide with specialist knowledge of the area's history and architecture. Visitors move through Josefov on foot, entering several of its most significant sites. Admission covers the Jewish Museum, the Old Jewish Cemetery, the Maisel Synagogue, the Pinkas Synagogue, whose walls are inscribed with the names of nearly 80,000 Bohemian and Moravian Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and the Klaus Synagogue. The guide contextualises each site within the broader history of Prague and Central European Jewry. Tickets include a map with local discounts, and the tour is accessible to wheelchair users. Booking is available across multiple departure times, with free cancellation up to the start of the selected timeslot.
