Jewish Budapest Tour

Explore the cultural center of Budapest with me! If you're interested in history, street food, going out, or street art in Budapest, as I am, you can find it all in one place, in the Jewish Quarter. During our tour, I will show you the depths and riches of Jewish heritage in the city. Dwelving into Jewish history, I'll show you the hidden Jewish treasures of the neighborhood with 3 synagogues. Get acquainted with the hip side of the district to see how this area became both the amusement and the cultural center of the city in the past 15 years. We'll take a look at the murals, that make the Jewish Quarter a true open-air gallery; the kosher restaurants, and last but not least I'll invite you into the most authentic local ruin pubs and cultural centers which are the top meeting points for locals and party people. Please keep in mind, the synagogues we visit on the tour are functioning religious places. On Friday afternoon, the whole Saturday, and on Jewish high holidays, they are closed.
