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."
