About
A fairytale old town and one of Europe's most important Jewish heritage sites. Josefov, the old Jewish Town, has synagogues centuries old, and there are kosher restaurants and Chabad nearby.
Good to know: only 13 shuls and 9 kosher places are on our map here so far, and the real number is likely higher. Before you book, check with the local Chabad (search Chabad Prague) and look up kosher on Google Maps.
Hotel King David: The hotel (Hybernská 42, near the main train station) is kosher lemehadrin all year under Rabbi Eliyahu Rotenberg together with the Prague Jewish community's kashrus department. It has its own shul, a dairy restaurant, and a spa with a pool and a men's and women's mikveh. Ask whether a minyan is on before you count on it. Front desk 24/7: +420 224 100 100.Source: hotelkingdavid.cz · hotelkingdavid.cz, checked Nov 2026 · tip from ivelt

Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
