"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 Powder Gate (or Tower) is a piece of late 15th-century flotsam, a lonely relic of the fortifications that used to ring the whole town."
