Neighborhood :
Josefov -- Jewish Quarter
- Mon to Sun from 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM
In a small area of the Old Town between Staromestske namesti and Charles Bridge, lies the historical Jewish Quarter with its old walled ghetto, cemetery (there are 12,000 tombstones), and various synagogues including the Old-New Synagogue dating from 1270 (the oldest in Europe still in use). Dating from at least the 13th century, with its many cobbled streets, courtyards and squares, the area provides an atmosphere, especially at night, which is unrivalled in Prague.
