Secrets of the Jewish Quarter
Once upon a time there was a Jewish Budapest inhabited by more than two hundred thousand in its heyday. Many of them lived in a geographically well-defined area still referred to as the Jewish quarter.
In a later, tragic period the ghetto was established here. The quarter’s traces and mementos, sometimes a bit rundown, can still be seen – restaurants, prayer rooms, ritual baths, kosher bakeries, synagogues of various sizes, cemeteries, butchers and confectionaries – all imprints of a former, richer era.
The Jewish quarter of Budapest is alive again. During our tour full of stories, the history of central Europe’s largest Jewish community comes to life and besides the dramas we also introduce you to the beauty and locations of everyday life.
