About this place
The Old Town (Staré město) and Josefov form the historic heart of Prague's right bank. As the oldest settled area of the city, this compact district layers centuries of architecture, from Gothic churches to the finest Art Nouveau interiors in the country.
The former Jewish ghetto of Josefov offers a quieter, contemplative counterpoint. Its synagogues and cemetery tell a profound story of Prague's Jewish community through the ages. Together, these neighborhoods deliver an essential Prague experience—ancient charm, artistic masterpieces, and poignant history all within a short walk.
