I had a wonderful time! It was my first experience with urban sketching and I fell in love with this way of mindful exploration of my surroundings. Buda Castle is beautiful and Cecilia made me feel very comfortable to express myself through sketching. Thank you Cecilia, and I will be back for more sketching walks!

George was a very friendly person and seemed very much interested in what he had to share with us about Budapest. It was very informative for someone like me who had just been in the city for just a couple of hours and George explained/narrated the history of the city along with information on some great places to eat, drink coffee and the places which were best for white Wine.

The best walking tour I've been to so far!!! Normally they‘re not so personal and everyone is just listening to the guide. But with Betti the atmosphere was so relaxed. We were walking through the city, she showed us all the important places there, told us about them and everyone asked their questions. She also recommended us bars and restaurants at the end. I‘ve visited some of them and they‘re great and affordable. So if you‘re in Budapest, I would highly recommend to participate at this walking tour!!!

This tour is a good introduction into the Hungarian history and to get some overview on what to explore next in the city. Also these are probably the spots which you wouldn't visit yourself without knowing these.

Jewish Heritage free walking tour with Local Guides

Budapest is a beautiful city with a rich and diverse heritage. It is popular for its thermal baths, its architecture and benefits from a unique geographical location at the crossroads of Western and Eastern European cultures. Budapest has an extensive Jewish history dating back to the medieval period when Hungarian Jews settled in what is now Hungary.
Tourists can learn about this history by visiting synagogues, museums, monuments and other landmarks such as the Dohany Street Synagogue (the largest synagogue in Europe) and the Jewish Memorial Park Kerepesi Cemetery (which contains the oldest grave in Europe). As you can see, there is no shortage of things to see in this great city, so there is nothing better than discovering it all with the professional guidance of the tours we offer here at GuruWalk.
Budapest's Jewish Quarter was once a Jewish ghetto and is home to the Dohany Street Synagogue which is one of the few remaining synagogues in Budapest.
The synagogue opened its doors to worshippers and visitors in 1859, after it was consecrated by Rabbi Benjamin Kahan. It was designed by Jakab Fellner and built with funds from Baron Fülöp Wesselényi, a prominent Hungarian Jewish philanthropist.
The central prayer hall seats 2000 people on two levels, with galleries on four sides; there are also classrooms and offices upstairs. There is also an adjacent school building containing classrooms for religious instruction, as well as a large library mainly in Yiddish with some books in Hebrew. The Hungarian Jewish Museum is also located inside the synagogue.
Budapest's Jewish cemetery is also a popular tourist attraction that has experienced a surge in visitors after the Holocaust memorial was established, attracting more than 350,000 tourists.
The Kerepesi Memorial Park Jewish Cemetery was established in 1883 and is considered one of the most important cemeteries in Budapest. It was the first public Jewish cemetery in Hungary and is still used as such today.
Wealthy Jews were often buried here and it has become a tourist attraction for Budapest.
