This is a must-see for us anytime we're in Praha. Read the history of the cemetery so you're able to appreciate what you're walking through. This is worth the price and wait- Its best to go at non-peak hours to avoid the crowd.
Absolutely amazing! I got there at 530 on a Friday night just before they close for Shabbat. I was virtually alone as all the crowds and tours had moved on. Beautiful eerie and simply breathtaking. If you are in Prague you should not miss it.
We visited the Jewish Cemetery independent of a guide as part of our self-guided tour of the Jewish Quarter in Prague. While we preferred the freedom of not having a guide, we were a little sad we didn't have one, as we wanted to learn more during our visit to the cemetery. The Cemetery is beautiful and moving, and a must-see site. However, there is no brochure or signs or anything to help give history of context as you are moving through. So either bring a guide or bring a guidebook, if that matters to you. That being said - a very worthy and beautiful place to visit. So quiet and serene (except the occasional less-than-respectful tour group). Note: entrance is included as part of the "Jewish Museum" ticket - you cannot pay to enter just this site. It is 500 czk for entrance to all the sites.
An interesting place to see, especially if you're Jewish or know something about the history or the people buried here. It has a mystical feel to it, it's hidden in the chilly share of the tall trees and walls. The only bad thing is that you can't just buy an entrance to it, you have to buy a ticket for everything in the Jewish quarter.
Every visitor to Prague should come here, but be prepared for crowds and waiting. Also consider all the sights of Jewish history in this country outside of Prague
Unique in it's genre. Really particoular atmosfere. Advised but too much expansive! (obviously..)
Very rude cashier, tickets expensive because obliged to buy a package to visit only the cemeterry. Worth a visit though.
Its interesting to see 12 000 graves in such a small place. But its a pity that you cant see all the gravestones from near, you can walk only on the marked path. The most famous is the tomb of Rabbi Löw, where people leave small stones and papers with their wishes
The place is really beautiful, but the entrance fee was too high.
A guided tour around the cemitery was 300 crz and 70 more to just be able to take any pictures inside.
(Ok, this ticket gives access to other buildings, but, nevertheless it is still a little expensive).
There is a path you have to follow that goes around the cemetery, you cannot wander around and actually walk through the cemetery which I thought is a huge bummer. The museum is okay but the items showcased not really that old. The entree price I thought was too expensive but that is relative.
