The Jewish Museum in Prague is not one building but a set of sites: the Maisel, Pinkas, Klausen and Spanish synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery, with the Old-New Synagogue also covered by the single ticket. The museum describes the ticket as covering six synagogues but names only five. The Old-New Synagogue belongs to the Prague Jewish Community, keeps its own hours and usually closes about an hour before shabbat begins. The catch is the calendar: every site is closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays, so a weekend in Prague has to be planned around that. Opening hours change through the season, and the ticket desks in the synagogues close half an hour before closing time. You can rent an audio guide, and the historic mikveh can only be seen on a guided tour. Refreshments are listed at the Information and Reservation Centre on Maiselova 15, though what is on offer isn’t specified.
