Overview

This 3-hour Jewish Budapest tour follows the varied history of a thriving Jewish community that made up nearly one-fourth of the Hungarian capital’s population before WWII. While exploring Budapest’s Jewish District, our Jewish Studies scholar guide will explain how from the 18th century, Budapest’s Jews played a profound role in the social and economic modernization of the city. As we consider the essential cultural contributions of Budapest’s Jewish citizens, we also reflect on their harrowing persecution, culminating in 20th-century genocide in the Holocaust. As we pass by kosher pastry shops and restaurants, we will ponder the ways the community and its culture are being revitalized today.

Informative and enjoyable

Published on Feb, 2025

Anna was very knowledgeable and explained the history of the Jewish Community of Budapest extremely well. She was a lovely person and explained everything as we walked around. Definately worth doing, made it all enjoyable despite the cold! Thank you

A wonderful cultural and historical tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was amazing! Our guide, Orsolya, was so very knowledgable and provided us with so many historical facts and cultural details. We walked away from this experience with a better understanding of the Jewish experience in Budapest. The sites and museums were interesting, and having a guide explaining things to us was such a great addition to the overall experience and provided a deeper meaning to the standard tourist experience. Orsolya happily answered questions, and was able to direct us to other points of interest in Budapest.

Very good and informative excursion

We had a wonderful guide called Anna . She was very well educated and told us everything about the Jewish Quarter. She spoke a little but Dutch language so we felt comfortable

Not to be missed Tour of the Jewish Quarter of Budapest

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour was enhanced by our knowledgeable tour guide, Orsolya. The courtyard and Tree of Life were an unexpected feature, but the synagogue itself was the highlight of the tour ….beautiful with so much history. We saw and learned so much that we never would have experienced if we had tried to walk around the Jewish quarter on our own.
