You step off the cobbles and into a city that keeps its past in plain sight: narrow lanes slide past carved stone, the hush of synagogue interiors meets the murmur of the Vltava just a block away. In Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, the stones remember lifestyles, laws and losses — a compact, walkable landscape where every doorway hints at another story.
