Explore the centre of Jewish Prague prior to 1939 and one of the best preserved Jewish districts in Central Europe. Sights include the Old Jewish Cemetery, where over 100,000 people are buried and the Jewish Museum.

Europe’s oldest surviving Jewish cemetery and one of the most impressive sights in Prague, located in Josefov, the former Jewish district. There are over 12,000 gravestones and more than 100,000 people are buried here.

Prague’s main boulevard and a regular parade ground for numerous organisations and political parties, including the November 1989 protest meetings, which led to the Velvet Revolution and the end of communist rule in Czechoslovakia.  

The largest medieval castle complex in Europe and one of the most impressive collections of buildings in the city. Today, it is the seat of the President of the Czech Republic, serving as the historical and political centre of both city and state.

The Estates Theatre is one of the most beautiful historic theatre buildings in Europe. In 1786 the Marriage of Figaro was first performed in Prague at the Estates Theatre. Then, in 1787, Mozart himself conducted the world premiere of Don Giovanni here, to a packed house.
