Budapest Dohany, Heroes', Rumbach synagogues & Jewish Ghetto Tour
Overview
This program only costs the synagogues' admission tickets, while you can enjoy a free 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 for a French speaking guide.
