I did not buy tickets for the Jewish museum, therefore did not enter synagogues or cemetery. But even without that, walking around and watching variety of architecture – from the oldest Gothic Old New Synagogue to the newest, over ornate Spanish synagogue, variety of house décor, some quite opulent, is pleasure in itself. The same area holds also monument to Franz Kafka (by the Spanish Synagogue). And also, note a Jewish tower clock by the Gothic Old New Synagogue with Hebrew hours, just below the usual clock.

This is a beautiful but fascinating part of the city, located close to the Old Town Square between here and the Vitava River. It is not a large area and perhaps not the most beautiful in terms of architecture. but fascinating nevertheless, the main attraction of course being the Jewish Museum and its various different sites.

When in Prague, this is the best area to stay. Accessible to all sites in the city. Walkable. So many beautiful vintage buildings. Great restaurants and great prices for bohemian crystal in this area of the city as well.
