★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Make sure to carefully look at all the various tombstones. There are so many different interesting designs that span about 350 years. The whole place is filled with a very somber atmosphere.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is an incredible place where you can feel history. Historically, as the cemetery was in the ghetto it could not expand horizontally so it expanded in height with hundreds of ancient gravestones one next to another.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small Jewish cemetery.. Few synagogues.. If u haven't seen any synagogue or cemetery.. U can go once.. But dont expect much.. Again the entree fee is too much for that.. Again they have different other fee to visit other areas around..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely worth a visit while in Prague. While a bit overpriced, still a must-see at least once in your life. Lots of thought provoking history in this area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful, park like cemetery with old graves, beautiful statues, mausoleums right in the middle of the city. You won't even notice that a busy city life is going on right outside the walls of the cemetery. The cemetery is easy to reach by subway (red line), bus and tram. All of these stop at the flora shopping center and this is only a 2 minute walk away.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited the Jewish Cemetery independent of a guide as part of our self-guided tour of the Jewish Quarter in Prague. While we preferred the freedom of not having a guide, we were a little sad we didn't have one, as we wanted to learn more during our visit to the cemetery. The Cemetery is beautiful and moving, and a must-see site. However, there is no brochure or signs or anything to help give history of context as you are moving through. So either bring a guide or bring a guidebook, if that matters to you. That being said - a very worthy and beautiful place to visit. So quiet and serene (except the occasional less-than-respectful tour group). Note: entrance is included as part of the "Jewish Museum" ticket - you cannot pay to enter just this site. It is 500 czk for entrance to all the sites.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely without a doubt our favorite place in Prague, looks a bit unreal even , it is so creepy special and beautiful.
When we were here there was little bit of fog just like in some kind of a horror movie.
We could have spent here a lot of hours looking and photographing but we bought the combined ticket for all the Jewish places so we had to carry on.
It is not allowed to walk near the graves and tombstones just along the path that goes around and a bit inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well preserved cemetery with hundreds of tombstones surrounded by relatively modern buildings. You get to go around the Graves and if you familiar with the language you will be able to read some of the words written on the Graves.
Although this is not the cheapest site seeing in Prague, this consider to be one of the "must see" when you visit Prague, and especially if you're in the Old Town.
