Itinerary

Dohany Street Synagogue

30 min Admission included

During the guided tour, travelers will discover the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe and the second largest in the world, inaugurated in 1859. Built in Neo-Moorish style, it can accommodate up to 3,000 people and represents one of the most important places of Jewish culture in Budapest.

The visit will allow you to admire the imposing architecture of the Synagogue and to learn about its history, from the architects who oversaw its construction to the role it has played in the life of the Jewish community.

Visitors will also discover the connection of the Synagogue to the history of the Holocaust and the old Jewish Quarter, by visiting the garden where the graves of the victims of the Budapest Ghetto are located.

The experience therefore offers an opportunity to get to know more closely the history, culture, and traditions of the Jewish community of Budapest through one of its symbolic places.
Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park

30 min Admission included

The Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park, located in the Dohány Synagogue complex, is a place dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and to those who worked to save the lives of numerous Jews during the Second World War.

In the center of the park is the evocative Tree of Life, a weeping willow sculpture on whose leaves the names of the Holocaust victims are engraved. A silent and significant place, which invites reflection and keeps alive the memory of the Jewish community of Budapest.
