Pinkas Synagogue (Pinkasova Synagoga) and Old Jewish Cemetery (Starý Zidovský Hrbitov) Tours

There are dozens of places to honor fallen Jews in the city of Prague, but few are as iconic—or as striking—as the Pinkas Synagogue (Pinkasova Synagoga) and nearby Old Jewish Cemetery (Starý Zidovský Hrbitov). Travelers who enter into the dark doors of Pinkas will find walls inscribed with the more than 77,000 Jews who were killed during the Holocaust, a stunning representation of the atrocity on a visual scale. At the front of the structure a list of concentration camps where men and women perished is listed and the Synagogue’s second floor showcases a small exhibit of moving children’s art.
The nearby burial site serves as the final resting place for some 20,000 Jews. Travelers can wander the well-worn path through 12 layers of graves that belong to famous rabbis, poets and scholars. Off-kilter stones worn by decades of weather serves as a reminder of all that was lost and provide a space of quiet contemplation for visitors.
Practical Info
Pinkas Synagogue hours vary depending on the season, so it’s best to check ahead before making a visit. It is closed to visitors on Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
Address: Široká 23/3, 110 00, Prague, Czech Republic
