Four Seasons Hotel Prague

Josefov is a neighborhood of extremes. You'll see centuries-old synagogues standing next to Prada storefronts. It was a walled ghetto from the 1200s until a massive 1900s cleanup project changed everything. Planners leveled the slums but saved the most important religious sites. Today, it’s a heavy, moving museum of Central European Jewish history. You'll find it on the Vltava's right bank in the Prague 1 district. Pařížská Street is the main spine. It connects the Old Town Square to the river. It's compact. It's walkable. And it's essential for anyone who wants to see Prague's real layers. Most visitors come for the history but stay for the atmosphere. It feels different from the rest of the city. It's polished but somber. You can spend an entire morning in the cemetery and an entire afternoon window shopping. It works.
