Description
Join me for a raw, unfiltered two-hour deep dive into the Jewish Quarter(Party District) of Budapest. We won't just look at the pretty Street art Murals and Statues—we will examine the harsh realities of the politics, confront the complex history of the Jewish Quarter, and explore the current socio-economic situation, uncovering the stories that others often skip.
We will visit:
Main murals in district 7
Szimpla Kert ruin bar
Memorial statues in the Jewish quarter
Famous abandoned buildings
District 7 has a strict rule about street art, hence graffities are not part of the tour, as they usually disappear by next morning but there is plenty of beautiful art to show you while walking around :-)
I’m a Turkish–Hungarian guide with a love for Budapest’s street art, murals, and alternative culture. I enjoy showing travelers the city’s creative side — from ruin bars to hidden murals — and sharing the stories that bring these walls and neighborhoods to life.

Burak's tour is not a standard tourist experience; it's much better! He's knowledgeable, interesting, and engaging, and he doesn't hesitate to tell it like it is. There's no sugar-coating the reality of life in Budapest for most people, especially young people. If you're a fan of Orban you may want to give this a miss. Otherwise we highly recommend Burak's tour.

Burak ist ein super Guide. Er hat uns mit spannenden Hintergrundinformationen versorgt: Viel Aktuelles, politische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen/Zusammenhänge, aber auch historische Exkurse. Wir haben viel über das jüdische Viertel im Speziellen und Budapest im Generellen gelernt. Aus seinen Erzählungen konnten man seine überzeugte humanistische und demokratische Haltung heraushören, das haben wir sehr geschätzt.

Burak didnt hesitate to “say it how it is”. Unfiltered and genuine he walked us through history and current affairs in hungary connected to the streets of the jewish quarter and its art. It was clear he has passion for this country and wants to see it do better than it is right now
