Skip the line ticket to the Great synagogue and Ghetto wall
This 2-hour Jewish District Tour in Budapest takes you on a deeply enriching journey through the heart of the city’s historic Jewish Quarter, once home to the Jewish ghetto during World War II. Focusing on the history of the 20th century, the Holocaust, and the area’s present-day cultural revival, the tour explores not only the major synagogues—Rumbach, Kazinczy, and Dohány—but also the Jewish Cemetery and Memorial Park. Along the way, you’ll discover poignant street memorials and powerful artworks, such as the 6:3 Street Painting and the Raoul Wallenberg Suitcase Memorial, which pay tribute to the Jewish community’s resilience and contributions.
We enter to the Ghetto Wall Fragment and Exhibition. If you would like to visit the Great Synagogue at the end of the tour, we provide a guided tour for you.

5.00There is a lot of walking, so be prepared. Information given was the best. This was high on my list when visiting Budapest. I was slightly disappointed that the "shoes on the Danube" wasn't part of this tour until I realized the geography wouldn't have worked. I di walk to them after the tour
Fabulous tour!
