Overview
Available languages
2 hours 20 minutes
Mobile ticket
Pay for the synagogues' admission tickets only and enjoy a free, complex tour of about 2.5 hours with experts. Your Budapest experience must include the Jewish district - the former Ghetto area. We have been on a mission to passionately help visitors learn about the Hungarian Jewish history, culture and heritage for over 25 years now.
On this tour we present Europe's largest synagogue the Dohany, the Heroes' Temple synagogue and the recently renovated magnificent Rumbach synagogue from inside, while we stroll along the streets of the former Budapest Ghetto and learn about Righteous Gentiles who helped save many lives during the dark times of the Hungarian Holocaust and Jewish life in Budapest today. The tour offers an insight into the various Hungarian Jewish movements in today's cultural, commercial and entertainment center of our colorful, multicultural and breathtaking Budapest.
Please check our French language option timetable if you wish to have a French speaking guide.

3.00The guide was very knowledgeable but the group was way too large…40 people. This made it very difficult to get close enough to hear especially since there were no headsets provided. This was not the guides fault. He did the best he could but the tour group was way too big.

2.00Unfortunately, just not an engaging experience. The tour guide was quite monotonous and didn't handle a large group well, taking far too many questions, which should have been covered by the narrative of his tour. Pace was quite slow and didn't engage our group, neither the grandparents nor the grandchildren.
Excellent Jewish quarter walking tour
