Old-New Synagogue
Europe's oldest working synagogue, and the attic where the Golem sleeps.
Opening hours, admission and address
- Address
- Červená 2, Josefov
- Opening hours
- Sun–Fri09:00–18:00
- Winter09:00–17:00
- Admission
- Separate ticket, or combined with the Jewish Museum sites on the Jewish Town ticket. Closed all day Saturday and on Jewish holidays — check the dates before you plan a Saturday in Josefov, because the whole quarter shuts together. Doors close an hour later in high summer, and on Fridays the synagogue closes roughly an hour before shabbat begins, which in winter can mean the early afternoon. Men are asked to cover their heads; paper kippot are handed out at the door.
