Prague New Mill Water Tower

The tower was built in 1658 on what remained of the original Renaissance tower, destroyed by a flood in 1655. It supplied water to the lower New Town of Prague and served its original purpose until 1877. The Prague New Mill Water Tower has undergone a complete renovation, and now houses an exhibition called "Prague is Burning" about Prague's fires in the past and a history of Prague's fire-fighters.

Wander around Prague Jewish Quarter 

The Jewish Quarter is best to visit early in the morning when you can sit down on a bench and savour the moment with almost no people around. It is very quiet. The origins of the Jewish Quarter can be traced to the 10th century. It underwent many changes, destructions and rebuilts. The area over the centuries experienced important events which you can learn about on your tour.

Spanish Synagogue & Maisel Synagogue

The Spanish Synagogue and Maisel Synagogue are part of the well preserved Prague Jewish Museum which resides in the Jewish Quarter and includes visits to six synagogues. Explore the district and visit the synagogues during the day and in the evening, you can attend concerts usually with chamber cast and program full of classical music, jazz music or the Jewish music.
