Discover the highlights and hidden gems of the Old Jewish Quarter, one of Budapest’s most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods!

Book a 2-hour walking tour of Budapest's Old Jewish Quarter and wander through the streets steeped in history and heritage of a Jewish community that once thrived here. Your Private Guide will show you the city's most important Jewish sites, including the Rumbach Street Synagogue with its delicate Moorish architecture, the iconic Dohány Street Synagogue with its towering spires, and the Synagogue Astoria Central Residence. Each site reveals a piece of the layered history of Jewish life in Budapest, connecting the old with the new.

If you're interested in learning more about the Holocaust, then you have to visit the Ghetto Memorial Wall (tickets included), where the weight of World War II history presses upon you, a solemn reminder of the dark days that once shadowed these streets. Our Expert Guide will also show you other highlights, such as the Kazinczy Street Synagogue, which offers a glimpse into the living Jewish culture, and Klauzál tér, a lively square that breathes with the energy of daily life. Our final stop will be at the bustling Klauzal Market Hall, where the flavours and scents of the present mingle with the past, a fitting end to a walk through history.
