Beautiful yet sad Jewish cemetery near the old town. Has a hundreds of burial stones in the grounds and also 80,000 names of Jews killed during WWII. We did a self guided tour as unforntunately we were on a tight timeline due to leaving Prague the same day but we would recommend maybe a guided tour option at the cemetery to find out more of the history if possible.
You absolutely have to pass by the museum where the names of the 80 000 Jews killed during WWII in Czech Republic are written. This museum is very simple but gives you a slap in the face when you look at the names on the walls.
The cemetery is very special because of the density of graves in a small place, but also because of the succession of the tombs which are placed everywhere.

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.

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 cemetery with old grave stones and surrounding buildings in a park setup. We had the pack that gives you access to it as well as several museum and synagogues of the Jewish quarter and we really enjoyed it!
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.
