How much is the Jewish Museum ticket?
The Jewish Museum in Prague is not one building. It is a set of synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery spread through Josefov, and the admission page sells one basic ticket that gets you into all of the venues open at the time (checked 19 October 2026):
| Visitor | Price |
|---|---|
| Adult | CZK 600 |
| Student under 26 | CZK 400 |
| Child aged 7–15 | CZK 200 |
| Child up to 6 | Free |
| Disability card holder | CZK 100 |
| Assistant to a severely disabled visitor | Free, ticket from the Visitor Centre |
There is no family ticket, so families pay per person. Two adults with children aged 9 and 13 pay CZK 1,600. Two students pay CZK 800. A couple pays CZK 1,200, which is CZK 300 more than the Prague Castle main circuit for the same two people.
Individual and family tickets are valid for three opening days. Saturdays do not count, because the museum is closed. Group tickets (six or more people) are valid only on the day of issue.
What the ticket includes now
The museum's FAQ lists what the single ticket covers today: four synagogues (Maisel, Pinkas, Old-New and Spanish) plus the Old Jewish Cemetery, all within walking distance in Josefov.
Older guides often describe more sites than that. Two of them are affected by planned rebuilding:
- Klausen Synagogue. The Klausen Synagogue page says a major reconstruction is planned and that the synagogue is currently open for temporary exhibitions. When this guide was checked, an exhibition by Karel Cudlín was on show. The museum plans to reopen it fully in 2028 at the latest.
- Ceremonial Hall. A 2024 notice on the same page said it would close temporarily, and the page mentions a new exhibition prepared for it at the end of 2025. It does not clearly say whether the hall is open now, so ask at the Visitor Centre.
Opening hours and closed days
The museum's opening hours page gives two timetables for 2026 (checked 19 October 2026):
| Dates in 2026 | Museum venues and cemetery | Old-New Synagogue |
|---|---|---|
| 2 January–31 March | 9:00–16:30 | 9:00–17:00 |
| 1–30 April | 9:00–18:00 | 9:00–18:00 |
| 1 May–31 August | 9:00–19:00 | 9:00–19:00 |
| 1 September–17 October | 9:00–18:00 | 9:00–18:00 |
| 18 October–31 December | 9:00–16:30 | 9:00–17:00 |
| 24 December | 9:00–14:00 | 9:00–14:00 |
On 1 January 2027 the museum venues open 11:00–16:30. Ticket sales end 30 minutes before closing, so in the current winter timetable the last tickets are sold at 16:00. The Old-New Synagogue usually closes about an hour before Shabbat begins, so on Fridays expect it to close earlier than the table shows.
Saturdays and Jewish holidays. The museum is closed every Saturday. It also closes for Jewish holidays. The 2026 list (2, 3, 8 and 9 April; 22 May; 13, 21 and 27 September; 4 October) has now passed. The page gives no 2027 dates yet, so if you are travelling next spring, check it again before you book around Pesach.
Where to buy, and what to bring
You can buy tickets online through the museum's ticket shop or at the ticket offices in the Spanish, Klausen, Pinkas and Maisel synagogues and at the Visitor Centre. The FAQ recommends buying in advance to avoid queuing.
The Information and Reservation Centre at Maiselova 15 keeps the same hours as the museum venues. It sells tickets for every site, rents audio guides and arranges guided tours. Use it if you hold a city pass, need a disabled assistant's ticket, or want a guide.
Pack light. The FAQ says backpacks and luggage over 30 litres are not allowed, that bags may be inspected, and that the museum has no luggage storage. If you are arriving straight from the airport or a train with a suitcase, leave it at your hotel or a station locker first.
Planning the visit
A tour of the whole Jewish Town takes 2 to 3 hours, according to the admission page. In the winter timetable that means starting by about 13:30 if you want to see everything in one afternoon. If you can't, use the three-day validity and come back the next opening day.
Josefov pairs well with the Old Town Hall tower on the same day. Before you buy anything in koruna, read our guide to paying in Czechia on cards, cash and exchange offices.
