This walking tour in Budapest lasts about 2 hours and 20 minutes and covers the Jewish district, including visits inside three synagogues: the Dohany (Great/Central) Synagogue, the Heroes' Temple Synagogue, and the Rumbach Street Synagogue. The tour begins at the Dohany Synagogue, the largest Jewish temple in Europe, where visitors learn about the Hungarian Neologue Jewish Community and the history of Hungarian Jewry. The building dates from the 1850s and features an organ once played by Franz Liszt. Next, the tour visits the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park to learn about the Hungarian Holocaust and the Righteous Gentiles who saved many lives. This stop includes the Emmanuel Tree of Life Memorial and the Holocaust Cemetery, which contains the graves of over 2,000 victims from the Budapest ghetto. The group then proceeds to the Rumbach Street Synagogue, a Moorish-style building designed by Otto Wagner in 1872, recently reopened after renovation. The tour continues with a walk along Kiraly Street, once the main commercial street and center of Jewish life in Pest, now active with shops and cultural venues. Participants also visit Gozsdu Udvar, a lively area known for entertainment, cultural venues, and local artisan products. The Carl Lutz Memorial honors one of the Righteous Gentiles who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust. The Spinoza Szinhaz, a cultural venue named after the Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza, is also included. Visitors see a well-known spot for kosher flodni, a traditional Hungarian Jewish cake. The tour continues along Dob Street, which ran through the center of the former ghetto and is now a hub for renewed Jewish life and orthodoxy. The final stop is the Kazinczy Street Synagogue, located in Budapest’s cultural street area with ruin pubs and the Hungarian Orthodox Jewish Center, which includes a synagogue, mikveh, kosher restaurants, shops, and schools. The synagogue features early 20th-century Art Nouveau architecture and serves the Hungarian Orthodox Jewish community. All fees and taxes are included in the tour price, but admission tickets to the synagogues must be paid separately. The total walking distance is approximately 2.5 kilometers. Visitors should follow the dress code requiring covered shoulders and knees; head coverings for men are provided at synagogue entrances.
