The Spanish Synagogue is incredible & has the most beautiful interior of any synagogue in Prague. Don't confuse this with the Jerusalem Synagogue, which is also very beautiful inside & has a fantastic exterior as well.
You may buy tickets at the door, but the best value is to buy a combo ticket, which gives you entrance to four or five synagogues and is valid over several days.
There is also a very interesting exhibition of recent Jewish history in the Czech Republic inside.
If you are taking pictures inside, be aware that tripods aren't allowed.
Go early or on weekdays to avoid the masses.
These pictures available on Picfair. com under my name.

Beautiful synagogue with ample of details and plentiful of information.

One is guaranteed to comprehend the cultural influence and importance of Jewish minority to the culture and life itself in the old Bohemian and Moravian regions.

The exhibition also demonstrates the tragedy of the Second World War, both the human tragedy and cultural one.

The building itself is impressive and definitely worth seeing. Not to mention the the impressive artifacts and detailed information regarding the cultural life.

Don't go to this place. They scam you by forcing you to buy a combo ticket to also visit some other places you probably won't care about. Better go to the Jerusalem synagogue, it is prettier and doesn't force you to buy a combo ticket.

Beautiful synagogue. The architecture inside is worth the visit and inside you also get panels with the history of Moravia Jews. You can also get a package ticket to visit all the other synagogues, ceremonial hall and cemetery, so it’s a great deal.

The Španělská synagoga is truly an architectural masterpiece. Its intricate details, vibrant colors, and stunning interior make it a true gem in Prague. The synagogue's rich history and cultural significance add to its allure. A visit to this magnificent place is a must for anyone interested in Jewish heritage and architectural beauty. 👍

There's a good exhebit going on here but for me the main atraction is the building itself! Every tiny bit is covered by an intricate decorative pattern it's just marvalous!! Might be the prettiest interior in Prague, definitely the prettiest in my opiniin from what I have seen!

100% recommend stopping by this beautiful synagogue

We got a week long ticket to explore the Jewish district and it’s very insightful and good value for money

Incredibly beautiful synagogue which also showcases the history of Judaism in Hungary in the last 100 years. Would definitely recommend visiting. We purchased a ticket that included many local synagogues in the area which can be purchased directly here.
