Book a 2-hour private tour of Budapest's Old Jewish Quarter, exploring Jewish heritage sites and memorials that stand as a testament to Jewish resilience. Begin your journey in front of the grand Dohány Street Synagogue, recognized as the largest synagogue in Europe. Discover the Carl Lutz Memorial hidden near the Rumbach Street Synagogue, and hear the heroic story of the Swiss diplomat who saved thousands of Jewish lives during the Nazi occupation.

This tour is designed to uncover the well-known facts and lesser-known personal stories of WWII, as the mass deportation of Hungarian Jews was the largest Holocaust killing after 1942. You’ll discover fragments of the old ghetto wall and walk through the former center of Hungarian Jewish cultural life, passing by the elegant Kazniczy Street Synagogue. The highlight of this experience will be a visit to the Ghetto Memorial Wall, a solemn reminder of the dark days that once shadowed these streets. Don’t miss out!

Book a 3-hour tour to visit the grand Dohány Street Synagogue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park. This tour offers an intimate chance to reflect on the legacy of those who perished during WWII as you’ll stand in front of the weeping willow sculpture engraved with thousands of names of Holocaust victims. In addition, the Great Synagogue houses the Hungarian Jewish Museum with valuable artefacts on Jewish history and culture. Skip-the-line tickets are included in the price.

Book a 4-hour tour for an even more immersive experience with skip-the-line access to Rumbach Street Synagogue. Inside, marvel at the richly restored octagonal sanctuary adorned with intricate Moorish Revival designs, including gilded columns, vibrant stained glass windows, and a soaring dome.
