The Jewish Quarter in Prague, known as Josefov, is located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River. Its torrid history dates back to the 13th century, when the Jewish community in Prague were ordered to vacate their disparate homes and settle in one area.

These buildings form the best preserved complex of Jewish historical monuments in the whole of Europe. Six synagogues remain, including the Old-New Synagogue and the Spanish Synagogue, plus the Jewish Town Hall and the Old Jewish Cemetery, which is the most remarkable of its kind in Europe.

Most historical sights in the Jewish Quarter come under the auspices of the Jewish Museum. A single admission ticket gains you entry to all the buildings under their control.

Malá Strana is a district of the city of Prague, Czech Republic, and one of its most historic regions.
The most crowded areas are the Mostecká and Nerudova streets with lots of tourist stepping up on their "Royal Way" to the Castle.
The name translated into English literally means "Little Side", though it is frequently referred to as "Lesser Town", "Lesser Quarter", or "Lesser Side".
This quarter offers picturesque walking in the narrow streets, but most tourists limit their visit of the Lesser Quarter to Mostecká and Nerudova street when climbing up from Charles Bridge to the Prague Castle.
