Skip the line ticket to the Great synagogue and Ghetto wall
This 2-hour Jewish District Tour in Budapest takes you on a deeply enriching journey through the heart of the city’s historic Jewish Quarter, once home to the Jewish ghetto during World War II. Focusing on the history of the 20th century, the Holocaust, and the area’s present-day cultural revival, the tour explores not only the major synagogues—Rumbach, Kazinczy, and Dohány—but also the Jewish Cemetery and Memorial Park. Along the way, you’ll discover poignant street memorials and powerful artworks, such as the 6:3 Street Painting and the Raoul Wallenberg Suitcase Memorial, which pay tribute to the Jewish community’s resilience and contributions.
We enter to the Ghetto Wall Fragment and Exhibition. If you would like to visit the Great Synagogue at the end of the tour, we provide a guided tour for you.
The Raoul Wallenberg Suitcase Memorial honors the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during World War II. The bronze suitcase symbolizes his mysterious disappearance and lasting legacy of courage and humanity.
Madách Imre Square is a small yet vibrant square, known for its iconic archway leading to the former Madách housing complex. Surrounded by cafes and bars it serves as a gateway to the lively Jewish Quarter and reflects the city’s blend of history and modern urban life.
The Rumbach Street Synagogue in Budapest is a stunning Moorish-style synagogue, designed by Austrian architect Otto Wagner in 1872. Recently restored, it serves as a cultural space and memorial, reflecting the rich Jewish heritage and history of the city.
