Jewish Quarter tour guides

by benzitex

I am interested in taking a tour of the Jewish Quarter in Prague with a guide. Any suggestions on which guides are best and reasonable? Does it make sense to take a guide for the entire day to tour Jewish Quarter and Castle area?

Re: Jewish Quarter tour guides

I have to say I would not take a guide for the Jewish quarter. It is very compact, with a huge amount of information easily accessible in English.

If I did anything, I would probably prefer to take one of the walking tours on offer such as

As for the castle, it is really up to you whether you feel you want a private guide. Prague castle is not really a 'castle' in the way one might imagine: it is a series of buildings with separate entrance fees. Again, information is easily accessible in English.

Yes, you can opt to do that.

Or you can just buy a ticket to go inside what you want to see. For example, I only wanted to visit the cathedral. So that's all I did. I looked at the other parts from the outside.

I just did the audio guide and that would be the way to go in my opinion. You have a good map to follow all over the area and now you can go at your own pace. I actually did that in most areas I went to in Europe and much preferred it.

Travel Tips for Prague

Old Town - Staré Mesto

by bambino36

The heart of Prague is located in the Old Town, with its central square. During the 11th century the buildings around the castle spread out to the right margin of the Vlatva River. The market where today is located the Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí) has almost one thousand years old. Houses and churches multiplied around the square resulting in the urban trace that still lives today. This area was promoted to city in the 13th century. In this area nobody should miss to visit the Old Town Square, the Týn Churh and the streets that lead to the Old Town Square. The Old Town Hall is the icon of this area.

The Old Town Square

by Paul2001

Prague has one of the most beautiful town squares in all of Europe. The Old Town Square or Staromestské nám is simply gorgeous and is the cities main draw. In fact I hate to say this but I felt that the town square sort of defined my impression of Prague. All facades and no substance. That is not to take away from its beauty and historical importance. The facades are all painted with luminous colours and are pretty to look at. The square itself was a major market centre since medieval times. However like much of Prague there is not much to see beyond the fronts of these buildings. There is an abundance of restaurants and a few bars but they are grossly overpriced. A few of the baroque churches offer classical concerts of questionable quality. Still all life in Prague seems to gravitate to here and you cannot leave Prague without making frequent visits.

Cow Parade 2004

by nhcram

From June to September, life-sized sculptures of cows, created and painted by Czech artists, are brightening the streets and public spaces of the city. At the end of the project, selected sculptures will be sold at auction to raise money for children's charities.
You turn a corner and another one greets you. They are all different and are amusing to look at.

Trip to Lidice

by johnjoe55

In the morning we all headed of for our day trip to Lidice, we got the 135 bus that stopped just outside our apartment and got of at Namesti Miru. We took the metro to Dejvicka (the A line). The Lidice Buses depart for Lidice at the bus stop across the road from the Diplomat Hotel near Dejvicka Metro.

NOTE: Buses to Kladno don’t stop at Lidice, so make sure you are on the right bus by confirming it with the driver. The bus ride takes about 25 minutes and cost 30kc.

Entrance fee for Lidice is:

* Adults 80kc. (£1.95)
* Children 15 years old and under 40kc.(£0.97)
* Disabled people 40kc.(0.97)
* People 65 years old and above 40kc.(£0.97)
* Family (2 adults and max 4 children) 140kc.(3.42)

Lidice was so very interesting and moving as the story of the destruction of the little village was unfolding in the small museum, the whole family enjoyed both the museum and the walk around what was the village of Lidice.

From 105 of Lidice children only 17 survived. 9 were adopted by German families, the 7 youngest children under the age of 1 were placed into a German children shelter in Prague. One boy died in the shelter. After the tragedy in Lidice 7 children were born to the mothers however only two survived. One boy was born in the concentration camp but was killed right after his birth.

Out of the 105 children 82 died in Chelmn 6 died in the infantile home 17 returned back home to the Czech Republic.

European Statue

by Pieter11

In one of the innersquares of the Clementinum Cloister, I saw this nice statue lying in the grass. It's a blue lady lying down with the "European" yellow stars around the head like an auriol. In 2004 Czech Republic joined the European Union, so the colours are hot here.

In the innersquares there are more extraordinairy statues to be found. Litterly to be found, because some are high on top of a wall or behind glass.
