Jewish heritage, past and present
Jewish heritage, past and present
The Budapest Jewish Quarter, the heritage area which was actually a ghetto during WWII, is one of the most popular places of the city with the still perceptible beautiful past. In spite of the the terrible history of the 20th century Hungarian Jewish communities, Jewish culture has a revival in Budapest with the largest Central and Eastern European Jewish community living here. My tour brings you exactly to the heart of this district where I grew up to show and tell you its past and present.
During the tour you are going to see a huge variety of sights from the second largest conservative synagogue in the world to small prayer houses, attractive residential buildings and memorial places of the area: astonishing, all with their own stories. I will also bring you to places mostly visited and used by the locals. You can peep into their everyday lives: courtyards, little shops, eateries, a mikveh, art galleries, festival scenes, old and newly opened cafés will all make you get closer to an insider’s look. Just let yourself emerge in the atmosphere! My aim is to give you a good overall picture with lots of stories rather than facts: I always try to organise my tour as informative, integrating and fun as it is possible.
If you feel like and have more time to spend here, my further tour ideas give the possibility for us to explore some less-known but still amazing Jewish-related places and sights of both Buda and Pest. Your interest is the limit!
All of my tours can be enjoyed as a half day (4-5 hours) or a full day program (7-8 hours).
