Vacation Rentals in Josefov: Prague’s Most Vibrant District

Josefov is one of Prague’s most vibrant districts, famous for being the city’s Jewish quarter. Histori-cally, this area has been regarded as one of the slums of Prague, but it has transformed over the years, becoming one of Prague’s most popular districts. Situated at the heart of Prague’s Old Town, many of Josefov’s residents still enjoy proud Jewish traditions and customs that have been present in the city for generations. You can enjoy the unique atmosphere of the district by staying in a vaca-tion rental that will place you at the center of the hustle and bustle, experiencing Prague through the eyes of the locals.

With the stunning Old Town and Vltava River as backdrops, this area of Prague is one of the most picturesque in the city. Through the centuries, Jewish citizens residing in the countryside were forced to move and live in Josefov. Although some buildings remain from that dark period in Pra-gue’s history, the slums of Josefov are now a thing of the past, due to a rebuilding initiative started in 1893. The entire area is like a living museum – dedicated to the oppressed people who were forced to live in intolerable circumstances. Despite its torrid history, Josefov is now a beautiful, serene and picturesque place to base your stay in the city, and a vacation rental in Prague will place you in the best locations in the city.

Live Like a Local in Josefov

When staying in Josefov, there is stunning architecture that can be found at almost every turn. Jose-fov’s winding, narrow streets are perfect for exploring at leisure, and the area’s six Synagogues are all well worth a visit. The great thing about visiting the Jewish quarter is that one admission ticket will provide you access to most of the main historical sites in the area. Although the Old-New Synagogue requires a separate admission payment, it should definitely be on your schedule. This breathtaking building is the oldest operating Synagogue in Europe, and its Gothic architecture dates back to the 13th century.
