4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2013 NEW

We visited all 6 sites and found the time we spent worth the expense. Some locations the line up to buy tickets can be quite long. We got our ticket at the Spanish Synagogue, then headed to all sites with no wait to get in. This is a somber exhibit and beneficial to have some knowledge of the history before... More

If you're truly interested in the minutiae of Jewish history and practices, go and get the ticket for all sites (Pinkas, Spanish synagogue, Old-New Synagogue, Cemetery), and rent the audio guide. It will take you several hours if you view all the items on display, read all captions and listen to the full audio guide. Sometimes, though, there is no... More

Overpriced waste of time. Cemetery was okay but very limited access and crowded single walkway. Cheezy souvenirs along street,very tacky.Take in Convent of St Agnes instead to see beautiful art at low price!!

This was probably the biggest rip-off we came across while in Prague. The excessive entrance fees were made worse by the fact that they then asked you to pay further money for an audio guide and a camera pass. The only monument of worth was the Spanish Synagogue which was stunning. No maps were supplied, nothing. Waste of an afternoon,... More

If not Jewish or interested in Jewish history, it is not worth doing the museum. There seem to be interesting artefacts, but not appealing if one does not understand the history/back ground/faith.

This was an excellent and interesting stop. It is well organized as you are given a good map showing you how to find each place in relation to the others. I fail to grasp why the no picture rule but that's the way it is. We had no difficulty understanding that the ticket for this does not include the old-new... More

Having heard a lot about this place, we decided to go there. We bought a ticket for all the sights in the Jewish Quarters (480 CZK each) and had to get an audioguide (250 CZK) to make sense of what we were seeing. I can appreciate the history and the essence of the place, but some of the places dind't... More

For a museum in Prague, it was quite expensive. I already visited last year, when I learned about the Terezin children, so I wanted to see the drawings again. It is still very touching. Our experience was almost ruined by huge groups of noisy italian students (nothing against them, but some sections in the museum don't have enough space). Once... More

We payed 200 kc for entering, we had student discount. We payed for 5 synagogs and cemetery. That's the lowest price. We didn't get to see all of them but they told us that our ticket was valid also the next day. So if there is more of you, you can use the same ticket. :) Worth to see. I'm... More
