"An unforgettable sight, this cemetery is where all Jews living in Prague from the 15th century to 1787 were laid to rest."

"Just 1 block from the Old-New Synagogue, this is one of Europe's oldest Jewish burial grounds... One of the world's most crowded cemeteries: a 1-block area filled with tens of thousands of graves."

"Founded in the early 15th century, it has a palpable atmosphere of mourning even after two centuries of disuse (it was closed in 1787)."

This is one of Prague’s most popular sights, so if you’re hoping to have a moment of quiet contemplation you’ll probably be disappointed.

"The Old Jewish Cemetery, where all of Prague's Jewish residents were buried until the late 1600s, is one of the eeriest remnants of the city's once-thriving Jewish community."

"Make sure to notice the little stones on the tombstones—traditionally, these are used instead of flowers, adding to the beautiful, gray-and-green simplicity of the cemetery."

"The National Museum, dominating upper Wenceslas Square (Václavské námestí), looks so much like an important government building that it even fooled the Soviet soldiers."

"Built between 1885 and 1890, this neo-Renaissance palace is covered in decades of grime and the street graffiti that has become common in Prague since the Velvet Revolution."
