Explore the cultural center of Budapest with me!
If you’re interested in history, street food, going out or street art in Budapest, you can find it all in one place, in the Jewish Quarter.
During our tour we discover the depths and riches of Jewish heritage in the city. Dwelving in to Jewish history, I’ll show you the hidden Jewish treasures of the neighborhood with 3 synagogues. We’ll take a look at the murals, that make the Jewish Quarter a true open air gallery; the kosher restaurants, and last but not least I’ll invite you in to the most authentic local ruin pubs and cultural centers which are the top meeting points for locals and party people.
Please keep in mind, the synagogues we visit on the tour are functioning religious places. On Friday afternoon, whole Saturday and on Jewish high holidays they are closed.

5.00Emi was a wonderful tour guide. And this part of the city is so different from the opera house area even though they’re close by each other. It was very powerful to go into the synagogue and hear the history of the Hungarian Jews.
Great!

5.00Petra 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.

5.00With 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.
