What to do and see in Praha 3, Bohemia: The Best Cemeteries
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Prague's largest cemetery, centuries old. Extraordinarily beautiful. Peaceful, tranquil and serene. I walk the same stretch of the road to our family grave, not too far from the main gate. To bring flowers and light a candle. For my grandparents, parents and my sister. I am always surprised how quiet and deserted this place feels, how vastly big it is. I spent time walking around, admiring the beautiful statuaries, the old family tombs, crypts, from centuries ago. The old trees that got older and have grown so much, since I was coming here as a child. The beautiful ivy that grows out of control over the old abandoned graves, no-one visits anymore. It is so quiet, so peaceful, so sad . I leave with a heavy heart...

The Jewish cemetery is an historic site of great significance. It is the resting place for some 40,000 persons, including a number of prominent rabbis and scholars. The most visited grave is that of the Chief Rabbi of Prague, Ezechiel Landau (1713-1793), also known by the name Noda bi-Yehuda. In the early 1960s it was mostly discontinued and converted into a park.

I have been here twice and it still amazes me. Entry to the cemetery, which is part of the Jewish Museum, is by ticket but it is well-worth it. The scene is both beautiful and haunting and gives a very real view of the long history of Jews in this community.
