Old Jewish Cemetery

I kind of feel like a bad human giving this place three stars. But really, it was a pretty bad experience.
I waited in line for over an hour, made it 5 people from the front, only to have the woman at the ticket counter unceremoniously close her window and disappear. Then a guard comes up, tells us that it’s time for her lunch break and that if we want tickets we need to go to the info center around the corner. Cue the chaos of everybody hustling to get to the new checkpoint, and suddenly I’m 30 people back again. That makes me a mad Matt. It’s just not how one should run a business, which really this is. But I guess from my experience, you all can learn that you don’t have to deal with the huge line in the first place, and can circumvent it with a trip to the visitor’s center. #themoreyouknow
ANYHOW, once I was in, it was a pretty intense experience. I don’t know a lot about the Jewish experience in WWII-​era Prague, and frankly this museum didn’t offer a ton of opportunities for education (a trend I noticed throughout Prague, actually). However, seeing those walls covered in thousands upon thousands of names, it certainly makes you feel something. The cemetery itself was also quite stirring, and at times I felt myself feeling guilty for appreciating the space for it’s aesthetic qualities.
I guess it’s worth a visit, particularly if you have a cultural connection.

Le cimetière juif est composé de nombreuses stelles datant de presque un millénaire. Malgré un certain désordre, il est intéressant de s’en approcher et d’admirer les décorations de ces dernières composées par des écrits hébreux.
Cependant, l’endroit n’est pas très agréable à cause de son cloisonnement total est de ses sentiers étroits, surtout par grande affluence.
Aussi, l’entrée est chère même si elle donne accès aux synagogues avoisinantes. Celles-​ci né présentent toutefois pas grand intérêt, leur architecture étant quelconque et l’intérieur se voit transformé en exposition ennuyeuse.
A part en ayant un intérêt culturel et/​ou religieux, c’est une visite à déconseiller, même si reprise dans de nombreux guides.
Et juste pour le «coup de gueule», même si je trouve bizarre d’en faire sur de tels lieux, il faut se procurer un «visa» pour prendre des photos sur le site. Avec un prix d’entrée aussi élevé, c’est incompréhensible.

Kind of expensive…
300 Korunas for seeing an old church and the old cemetery + a few other small exhibitions, seems over the top, when comparing to the general price level in prague.
However it is something I would recommend to see.
