Tour description

The Jewish Quarter of Budapest is a really exciting part of the city. Nowadays, this is the center of nightlife, where the ruin bars are located, where you can find the best restaurants, bars, clubs. But did you know Budapest has the largest Jewish community in Central Europe, and here we have a Synagogue Triangle which means we have 3 large Synagogues within a walking distance from each other? Did you know that you can find the largest Synagogue of Europe (or the second-largest Synagogue of the world) in Budapest? During this tour, we show you the famous Dohány street Synagogue as well.

The Jewish Quarter was the place where Budapest had the ghetto during the World War II, and during this tour we show you the memorials, the Synagogues and you can learn a lot about the history of the Hungarian Jewish Community, you can get acquainted with the role of Hungary during the first and the second world war.

Abbiamo partecipato al free tour inglese del quartiere ebraico di Budapest. Il tour è stato davvero interessante, la guida precisa, ci ha permesso di avere un bel background della storia di Budapest e di contestualizzare il quartiere ebraico nella storia e nell'attualità. Assolutamente consigliato.

Flavia was a fun & an extremely informative guide. Flavias pure passion for the subject & country is obvious She taught me so much about the history surrounding Hungary it’s huge losses not only in the land but also the different communities within the Jewish people that were almost wiped out. Flavias knowledge of Budapest & recommendations are much appreciated

Andre knows his subject and is eager to share that knowledge. We appreciated the deep dive into the history but often the amount of dates and facts felt overwhelming. We only made four stops in 2,5 hours and spent more than 30 mins at each, therefore saw just a small part of the Jewish Quarter. It would be be great to do a bit more walking.
