Discover over 800 years of Jewish history on this private 3,5-hour walking tour through Budapest. Unlike most Jewish Quarter tours, this experience traces the story of Hungary's Jewish community from its medieval beginnings in Buda to the thriving Jewish life of present-day Budapest.
Begin in the historic Castle District, home to the Medieval Synagogue, where you'll learn about the earliest Jewish settlers and their role in the Kingdom of Hungary. From there, cross the Danube by public bus and continue into Pest's historic Jewish Quarter, exploring the community's golden age, the tragedies of the Holocaust, and the remarkable revival of Jewish culture in modern Budapest.
Along the way, discover the stories behind the Great Synagogue, the Rumbach Synagogue, and the Kazinczy Street Orthodox Synagogue while gaining unique insight into how Jewish citizens helped shape Hungary's history, culture, commerce, and intellectual life.
