What To Expect

Dohany Street Synagogue

The Dohány Great Synagogue is the second largest functioning synagogue in the entire world. The building was built in 1859 by Ludwig Förster in the Moorish style and is unique for its structure and because it includes an organ. In the building complex there is a memorial garden and a cemetery as well. This curiosity has been part of European heritage since 2017. The street next to it was used as the gate to the ghetto during the Second World War. You will have the opportunity to learn about the history of the Jewish community. You will learn how Raul Wallenberg saved the lives of Jews in the Soah period. Today it is the entertainment district all around.
