Overview

Meet one of our guides with a background in history who can bring the stories of Jewry of Hungary alive in front of you. During the walk you'll get to know the home of the largest Jewish community of Eastern Europe today where you'll see from the outside the three most important Synagogues. We overview 2000 years of Jewish history while focusing on the last 150 years including the "golden age" of the turn of the century, the interwar period with a special focus on the events of the WW II and the revival of Jewish life from the 1990s. Besides Jewish culture and history we introduce you to the gentrifying inner 7th district and its living standards, conditions, issues and its street art. We also visit the last remaining ghetto wall segment and we invite you for a coffee and local Jewish cake (ticket price is included in the tour's price)

Meeting points

We meet in front of Kempinski hotel on Erzsébet tér / square, facing the Ferris wheel. Being on of the main squares of Budapest it's easy to reach by M1, M2, M3 subways and several buses and tram lines. Google Maps is well synchronized with the Budapest public transportation system.

Wonderful tour

Published on Aug, 2024

It was a wonderful tour learning about the Jewish history of Budapest. Joel was so knowledgeable and thorough. We saw 3 synagogues and got to really understand the history.

A glimpse of the Jewish history in Budapest and a visit to the current vibrant life of the Jewish quarter

Real cultural tour with a nice local guide! Very recommended! Zsolt was our guide, he is very welcoming and very knowledgeable. We were a small group, which meant we could go to more synagogues and see even more special Jewish-related spots around the city. The tour was very informative, with a lot of emphasis on the Jewish community's history. I highly recommend this guided tour, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot of new things. Great value for money.

Excellent tour
