Accommodation in Jewish Prague:
The Jewish quarter is the most centrally located area of Prague. It is within walking distance to most of Prague famous historic sights. You will hardly find better place to stay. It is also close to public transport (metro, trams and buses). You will be just meters from the romantic river Vltava, where you can take unforgettable cruise (night cruises are really cool!).One of the best options for Jewish religious traveler looking for kosher accommodation in Jewish Prague would be private apartment.
It is much cheaper than hotel accommodation and you can use the kitchen utensils to prepare your own kosher meals.
There are quite many of these apartments close to synagogue - about 2-10 minutes walk, but just few of them offer kosher services.
We have selected several apartments in the Jewish Prague which are kosher (they do not have automatic lights for Shabbat, they are located in lower floors, they have platot and mechams...). They come together with kosher products for breakfasts. So, there is no need to bring your own kosher food anymore. In some of these kosher apartments is computer with free internet access.
