Additional Information

Venture into the heart of Budapest’s culture with me!

The Jewish Quarter offers a central destination teeming with Budapest’s history, street food, nightlife, and street art.

Throughout our exploration, we’ll dive into the profound depths and abundant wealth of Jewish heritage in Budapest. As we delve into Jewish history, I’ll lead you to the hidden gems of the Jewish district, showcasing its three synagogues. We’ll examine the murals that render the Jewish Quarter a veritable outdoor gallery; gaze upon the kosher eateries; and lastly, I’ll usher you into the quintessential local ruin pubs and cultural centers – the prime gathering spots for locals and party-goers.

It is important to remember that the synagogues we visit during our tour are active religious institutions. As such, they are closed on Friday afternoons, all day Saturdays, and on Jewish high holidays.

Great! - Petra was so knowledgeable about the Jewish experience in Budapest. Her personality was bubbly and she made the experience enjoyable. Her recommendations for food and fun places were spot on.

Not quite as amazing as the Petra in Jordan, but Hungary’s Petra is awesome. - With Petra, you have a young person speaking her mind, and that’s what makes a great guide in a dynamic and evolving city. I can strap on a headset if all I want are facts and figures about this building or that date. But we like to go deeper into the history and current events which made for great insight from someone as open and honest as Petra. Sure, she knew all the facts and dates too, but the opinions on communism, international relationships and the current Hungarian government really added spice to the time together.
