Prague
Josefov, Prague's old Jewish quarter, is in the middle of the city rather than off to one side, so the Altneuschul, the old cemetery and the Charles Bridge are within a few minutes of each other. That compactness is what makes Prague such a good three-day trip.

Kosher food in town

Walkable quarter
Josefov, around the Altneuschul places synagogues and kosher options within walking distance for Shabbos.
Overview
Why visit
- The Altneuschul, davened in continuously for some seven centuries.
- The Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock and the castle above the river.
- Everything in walking distance of everything else.
Best time
Spring and autumn. Prague at Christmas is beautiful and extremely crowded; midsummer is hot and busy.
Who it suits
Suits couples and short breaks. Manageable with children because the distances are small.

Where to stay
Which part of town matters more than which hotel — that is the decision that makes Shabbos walkable or not.

Before you book
- Kosher provision in Prague is limited and concentrated in Josefov. Confirm what is open for your dates.
- The old town is very crowded in season; early mornings are a different city.
Candle-lighting times, whether a shul still has a regular minyan, and whether a seasonal kosher kitchen is running are all things that move. Confirm them for your dates. What the labels on this page mean
