Dohany Synagogue & Rumbach Synagogue & Jewish District (former Ghetto) visiting options

This program is recommended for visitors who wish to learn about the Dohany Synagogue and get acquainted with the Jewish district of Budapest that spreads around the Dohany Synagogue. This part of Budapest became an important commercial and trade town in the medieval times. By the 18th century it attracted hundreds of Jewish families also, from all over Europe to make a living and eventually settle here. By the 19th century one quarter of the population of the area was Jewish - with a strong Hungarian patriotic attitude. They established the Neologue Jewish Community, the movement that dominates the Hungarian Jewish religion even today. The community played a very important role in the development of the Hungarian capital and its members became outstanding figures of the Hungarian political, cultural, educational, sport and scientific life.
After learning about the Dohany synagogue, the Holocaust Cemetery and the Raoul Wallenberg Park the tour continues with a walk in the Jewish district. Learn about the dark part of the history when this territory of Budapest became the ghetto and thousands of people have died here. Walk the path of history to understand the 20th century history of Central - Eastern Europe and see the streets that witnessed so much history but are now reviving into the coolest party district of Budapest, bustling again with commercial and cultural life with a great number of fascinating old buildings.
During the walk you can learn about Jewish memorials, experience the unique, special atmosphere of this multicultural district of Budapest. While walking among the ruined or wounded and already renovated buildings you get to learn about the Hungarian Jewry, the history of the Budapest ghetto and also the Hungarian holocaust. This is a stroll along narrow streets best explored with the help of a professional guide, expert in Jewish history.
