Join one of our educated guides with a thorough understanding of history, which will bring the narrative of Hungary’s Jewish past to life for you.
As we explore, you will become acquainted with the largest Jewish community in Eastern Europe today. This includes viewing the three most significant Synagogues from the outside.
Our journey extends over 2000 years of Jewish history with a strong emphasis on the past 150 years. This encompasses the ‘golden age’ of the dawn of the century, the period between the two world wars with a specific emphasis on the incidents of WW II and the resurgence of Jewish life in the 1990s.
In addition to Jewish culture and history, we also bring you closer to the regeneration of the Inner 7th district. Here, we focus on the living standards, prevailing conditions, related challenges, and street art.
A major point of interest on this tour is a visit inside the Rumbach street Synagogue (the admission fee is covered by the tour’s cost).
