Highlights
Explore the cultural center of Budapest with me! If you’re interested in history, street food, going out or street art in Budapest, you can find it all in one place, in the Jewish Quarter. During our tour we discover the depths and riches of Jewish heritage in the city. Dwelving in to Jewish history, I’ll show you the hidden Jewish treasures of the neighborhood with 3 synagogues. 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 in to 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, whole Saturday and on Jewish high holidays they are closed.

Itinerary
The first synagogue we will see is in Rumbach Street, the building is closed from an interior visit, but it’s beautiful with an interesting history.
The second synagogue is not other, but the largest European one in Dohány Street. We will visit the whole complex, including the Hungarian Jewish Museum and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial garden with the Tree of Life Monument.
After we leave the complex, we will be heading to explore the bohemian side of the Jewish Quarter with the interior visit of a famous, so-called ruin bar, the Szimpla Garden.
The last synagogue of our triangle is the Kazinczy Street Orthodox Synagogue, a very special art nouveau treasure, we will go inside the building too.
The last part that we will see is the posh Gozsdu Court with wonderful restaurants and party places.

About Budapest
Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, a grand capital of thermal baths, riverside palaces and lively ruin bars.
On the Buda side, Castle Hill holds Buda Castle, the Matthias Church and the white turrets of Fishermen's Bastion, all looking down on the river. The Chain Bridge crosses to Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stretches along the bank and St Stephen's Basilica rises a few streets inland. Gellért Hill and its Citadella give the widest views.
Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
