Morning
A sobering place to start the day, to appreciate how large the Czech Jewish community once was, is the Pinkas Synagogue, where Holocaust victims are listed by their home village and name. Then take a stroll through the adjoining Old Jewish Cemetery , where a guide will help you find significant grave-sites. To lighten the mood, proceed to the Klausen Synagogue on the right, with its exhibits on Jewish festivals and family life.
At the end of U Starého hřbitova is the Old-New Synagogue (see Features in the Old-New Synagogue). where you’ll find treasures like Rabbi Loew’s seat. Exiting, note the Jewish Town Hall next door with its Hebrew clock. Just a few feet away, treat yourself to lunch at Pravda .
Afternoon
After lunch, meander among the antiques shops en route to the Maisel Synagogue, where you’ll find the first part of an exhibit on Jewish settlement in Bohemia and Moravia – it continues at the Spanish Synagogue.
Refresh yourself at Bakeshop Praha around the corner before ending your tour at St Agnes’s Convent with its exhibits of Czech medieval art.
A truly Josefov-style evening involves a kosher dinner at King Solomon and a concert of sacred music at the Spanish Synagogue.
