Jewish Quarter and Jewish Museum

The museum is not one building but five synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. The Pinkas Synagogue carries the names of the Czech Jewish victims of the Shoah on its walls, and its upper floor shows children's drawings from the Terezín ghetto. The Spanish Synagogue has a richly decorated interior, and the Maisel and Klausen synagogues hold exhibitions on Jewish life in Bohemia. The museum says a tour of the whole Jewish Town takes two to three hours.

What to look for

• The Old Jewish Cemetery with its layered gravestones
• The names on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue
• Children's drawings from Terezín
• The decorated interior of the Spanish Synagogue
