The old cemetery is included on the Jewish Quartier Tour by a fee, starting at the Pinkas Synagogue; is a curious historic place to visit, but is necessary an audio guide or a guided tour to catch the meaning of the whole thing. There are restrictions to take photograps.

Other than the sheer number of graves in such a small area, and its sense of history and place it had little impact on me. You can avoid the queue at the very slow ticket desk by walking 30m down the road to a shop where they sell the same tickets at the same price - you then walk straight... More

This is one of the most interesting cemeteries I've ever seen. The close-together headstones atop 12 layers of burials from 500 years ago ...yes, it's incredible. The grave stones arent easily readable, but the most well known people buried here (like the rabbi who created Golem) are along the path and easy to see. Before entering the cemetery , visitors...

In order to view the Old Jewish Cemetary you have to buy a ticket that includes several synagogues, which can make it expensive if all you are interested in is the cemetary. The cemetary is a very beautiful and sad place that is worth visiting, contemplating, and photographing. We also took advantage of the synagogue admissions and have to admit... More

this is very spiritual place like from another world...

To see the sheer number of graves up close is unbelievable - your guide book pictures won't do it justice. just before that, you wander round the synagogue and see the names of the 80,000... More

It's impossible to experience this memorial without tears in your eyes. So much sadness and cruelty. Most visitors will be prepared for the content of the exhibit, and so there are a few things that I would have liked to know in advance. First, the group ticket doesn't get you into everything - the Old/New Synagogue is a separate ticket... More

I really wanted to see this collection of exhibits & cemetery. Unfortunately, due to the small spaces available & lack of staff, it was the most disappointing part of our visit. It's extremely close quarters & no one to regulate the flow of tourists or enforce a few rules. So there we were stuck behind a tour group of extremely... More

The memorial to the Jews killed in the holocaust is very moving, so many names covering the walls. The children's art was also a reminder of how their young lives were impacted. The cemetery had a peaceful atmosphere, but was again a reminder of how the Jews had been restricted in what they could do or where they could go.
