Best Synagogue in Czech

X	Xin Chen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A powerful memorial to the victims of holocaust. Their names were all carved in the stones on the walls. Unforgettable.
N	Nishara Lyons on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gorgeous synagogue, best visited as soon as they open in the morning to avoid the tourists and see the building and cemetery with the honour and reverence they deserve
R	Rachel Ewell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting and important place to visit to understand the history of the Jewish faith and people in Prague/Bohemia. Get there early though, lots of tourist traffic the later in the day you go.
m	monica pronzini on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting to visit with the names of the Bohemian victims of the Shoah painted on the walls on the ground floor and an exhibit of children's drawings from Terezin on the first floor; in the yard there are additional panels about the war and persecution.
A	Alex Davidson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Europe's largest Jewish cemetery accompanied by an informative Synagogue with some chilling drawing by children from Prague while it was under the rule of the Nazi's. Very humbling and definitely worth a visit.
K	Kate Ozel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ #Josefov, the former Jewish ghetto, is dotted with somber reminders of its past. These include the weathered tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery, and the Pinkas Synagogue, now a Holocaust memorial with exhibits focusing on Jewish children. The Jewish Museum houses a huge collection of cultural artifacts.
L	Luke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fascinating place, with a really thought provoking exhibit regarding the holocaust. The cemetery was also beautiful. Well worth the visit - men be advised you will be required to wear a jewish cap in the synagogue and cemetery.
A	Alyssa Becker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Of all the sites included under the Jewish Museum ticket, Pinkas Synagogue was my favourite. Located right next to the Cemetery, the rooms and walls with names of those who have died in the Holocaust is substantial, and incredibly moving. One of my favourite parts was the exhibit upstairs with art from children depicting experiences in the ghetto and WWII. Just haunting. Very glad we visited.
