- Zapryan DLondon, UK1,062 contributionsMy girlfriend and I visited the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague last year through a combined ticket for the Jewish quarter. Located next to the Pinkas synagogue, it's the second oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe after the one in Worms. There are a total of roughly 12,000 gravestones layered on top of each other, the oldest one dating as far back as 1439. A particularly interesting feature of the cemetery is the depiction of foxes, lions, bears, axes, and other animals and objects on the tombstones - these images indicate the occupation or origins of the deceased. The animals and objects are portrayed because the Jewish religion does not allow pictorial depictions of the dead.
We got the tickets for the Jewish quarter through the Prague Visitor Pass and we also took advantage of the audio guides, which gave us some interesting information about the synagogue and the cemetery. Although for me personally this wasn't one of the top sights in Prague, I would still recommend it to anyone interested in history, Judaism or cemeteries.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN8,529 contributionsLocated at Vyšehrad Park. Here you will find the graves of Czech composers Dvořák and Smetana and Czech artist Mucha. Worthwhile to experience if you are visiting Vyšehrad. Free entrance. Open until 7pm in the summer but closes at 5pm in the winter.Written 30 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bucky1836Madison, WI225 contributionsEntrance is just across the street from the Zelivskeho subway stop. Yes, Kafka's gravesite is here, but I would recommend strolling around other parts of the cemetery first to get some context. You'll notice how many markers and memorials have dates of death between 1939 and 1945. And then think how many more graves there would have been if so many hadn't been killed in camps during the Holocaust. Remember that this is closed from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning and men should cover their heads.Written 17 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Perry GBlairgowrie, UK415 contributionsnormally I would not recommend a cemetary to visit however I make an exception in this case. It is very interesting to see how the people were buried, in such a chaotic way.Written 3 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN8,529 contributionsThe National Cemetery at Vyšehrad sits adjacent to the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul. It is beautiful and it is the final resting place of several Czech greats including composers Dvořák and Smetana and artist Mucha. It is one of the highlights of a visit to Vyšehrad. No entrance charge. Open until 7pm in the summer but closes earlier in the winter months.Written 27 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- duhozBeroun, Czech Republic7,594 contributionsThe cemetery is to be told as the most negative and gloomy place not only. in the Czech Republic but around Europe. During my visit I did not feel any negative waves maybe because of nice sunny weather when I was there. All graves are covered by ivy except one still erected grave of Maria Tuma died at the age of 29 years. Around 5000 people buried there. The walk around was great and relaxing with aura of mystery, melancholy and eerie.
For film lovers, especial Amadeus movie, some parts were shot there.
To get there you can take a car and park around in the entrance or take a bus 236 to bus stop U Drahane and walk via gardening colony to the entrance.Written 22 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But it's intimate, quiet and peaceful and you won't see a single soul here. Building new and stable chairs/benches was a great idea.Written 27 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
