Full description

If you're wondering where you can learn about the Jewish diaspora's history, culture, and traditions in Central Europe, Budapest is the best place to look. Thousands of years of Jewish history, with all of its tragic, poetic and comic aspects, are centred in Budapest. We will take a walk through Erzsébetváros, the Jewish district, the most striking and unexpected part of the city, and discover how people live here today. We will talk about the origins of Zionism and the Holocaust, the branches of Judaism and what it is like to be an Orthodox Jew in the modern world. The tour will be led by an Israeli native and a representative of the Jewish diaspora, so this tour will also be fascinating to those already well-versed in the subject.

This place is also full of secrets and mysteries, which we will have to find and uncover. We'll peek into the courtyards and courtyard wells and search for Firebirds from Slavic folklore and menorahs covered in whimsical patterns. Come and join us!

Itinerary

Dohany synagogue is the biggest in Europe and the second in the world. Different from many other “standard” synagogues.

Rumbach synagogue was recently renovated after 60 years of being abandoned. An outstanding example of Moorish-style architecture.

Szimpla kert – is a representative of ruin pub culture in Budapest. Once you enter the building you will never forget the image of it.

New York Café – is one of the most picturesque and fascinating places you could ever visit in Budapest. An icon of the 19th century of Hungary.

Kosher market – a small shop where you can find all necessities to celebrate Shabbat or any other Jewish holidays.

Kazinczy 55 is an address of a two-story building with a long history and a lot of mystery inside. The façade of the house will reveal all the secrets.
