Staronová synagoga | Old New Synagogue
Dating from 1270, it's Europe's oldest active synagogue. Just one of the buildings in the Josefov testifying to the long and complex Jewish history of Prague.
Fancy musing what it must have been like to live in a handsome Baroque palace? Or maybe you’ll be captivated by the layers of history that have collected in one of Europe’s oldest Jewish urban settlements. How about scaling to a great height in a sci-fi tower? Prague’s unique sights have something to delight everyone. Here’s just the six best.
Libeňský zámek (Liben Chateau)
All too often visitors to Prague overlook this important Rococo mansion that played an important role in Czech history, complete with imperial residents.
Národní památník na Vítkově (National Memorial on the Vítkov Hill)
With its monumental equestrian statue to a national hero and history of the Czech struggle for nationhood, this is one of the city's most fascinating sites.
Národní galerie v Praze – Veletržní palác (National Gallery Prague – Trade Fair Palace)
Fans of art or architecture should not make the mistake of visiting only other National Gallery sites. The building is as much a work of art as those inside.
Pražský hrad (Prague Castle)
One of the most impressive citadel complexes anywhere. In addition to the castle and cathedral, it houses numerous fine collections, including the toy museum
Žižkovská televizní věž (Zizkov Television Tower)
More like something out of 1970s sci-fi than a building from the 1990s, the views are second to none and the restaurant really rather chic.
