Is Jewish Quarter (Josefov) worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Jewish Quarter (Josefov) earns the hours.

Allow 2–3 hours.

Among the most moving and historically dense quarters in Europe; the layered tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery and the names-of-the-dead wall at Pinkas Synagogue stay with you. The catch: it's one of the priciest ticketed sights in the city, timed-entry queues are real, and the surrounding streets are now flagship-store luxury, not old-world atmosphere.
