This was a truly powerful experience and way to see the Jewish culture and heritage!
The combination of sites is nice because each of them has a unique focus. But wow is the pass pricey. I will say that the young woman at the ticket office was super friendly and very helpful. If you're in a group, I recommend not everyone getting an audio guide. During the walk, focus on reading the placards and listen to the audio guide later.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the variety of sites and appreciated the helpfulness of our staff at the ticket office. We also appreciate your practical tips about the audio guides and will keep your comments in mind. We hope you still had a great overall experience! Dominik Get Prague Guide

This was a fascinating experience. Especially to learn about another culture. Also interesting to learn more about the Holocaust.
Truly appreciated—thank you.
Very interesting, beautiful buildings and synagogues. Unique old cemetery. Very friendly staff.
Thank you for sharing this!
A scam. We bought tickets on a late Thursday. They told us they were worth three days. We tried to download the audio guide at the time of purchase and it proved impossible, so we told the girl that we would come back the next day. We went in the afternoon and found two closed and a third, Old New which closes on Fridays and Saturdays, and we were not advised of any of these circumstances. We went to the store to say it, and they told us where we had bought, that they told them, we told them that it had not, and they stayed so panchas. We weren't offered any compensation. The honorable thing is just for a few moments.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify that this activity requires booking for a specific day and time slot, and the availability displayed at the time of purchase is accurate. It’s important that the selected date and time match your intended visit, as the ticket is only valid for that booking. We’re sorry the service you received didn’t meet expectations—we'll follow up with our team to ensure all guests feel supported and well-informed.
There are some great historical sites to see here, along with many beautiful buildings and stories of the Jewish community in Prague. At 500 CZK, the ticket price seemed a bit high, but the ticket desk sells a pass that supposedly grants access to eight different sites in the Jewish Town. The ticket seller assured us this pass covered all attractions in the Jewish Town. However, it turned out that two of the attractions were temporarily closed for renovation. The least the Jewish Cemetery ticket desk could have done was inform us about the closures. Ideally, they should have told us about the closures and reduced the ticket fee. When we asked a guard at one of the closed attractions (Klausen Synagogue) where the entrance was, he arrogantly pointed to an entrance beside him, which was full of craftsmen and building materials. When I mentioned that no one had informed us about the closure when we bought the tickets, he took the small map we were given at the ticket desk and showed us that these two attractions were grayed out on the back of the map, with thin gray text below each indicating they were closed. On the front of the paper, all attractions were listed without any indication of closure. We bought the tickets and only received this map afterward, so we had no chance to see this information beforehand. Later, while walking around the Jewish Town, we passed a door with a sign that said: "BE A MENSCH," a Jewish phrase that means to be a decent, honorable, and responsible human being. It’s about embodying integrity, kindness, and respect in your actions and interactions with others – qualities we did not encounter during our visit to the Jewish Quarter on this day.
Guided introduction was OK, but the audio guide was very limited. To enjoy a visit to the Jewish Quarter, detailed explanations are necessary.
Some great history here. And beautiful buildings and stories of the Jewish history in Prague. At 500 CZK it was at the top of what it’s valued, but be wary as the canny ticket desk subversively sells you the audio guide to, taking it to 680 CZK. It’s by no means essential to have this, but is clearly a quick buck for the business.
Our guide from “Get Your Guide Prague” was fantastic. She did a brilliant job of showing us how to navigate around the Jewish Quarter and gave some amazing context on this specific community. It was perfect for people like us who prefer to navigate ourselves around the sites at our own pace and based on what we find most interesting. All tickets were included and allowed us to skip the line in front of giant tour groups. There was also so much information on the walls at every stop so it’s very easy to learn about the history without having a dedicated guide.
