Jewish Heritage of Budapest - Private Tour

Embark on this private, personalisable Jewish heritage tour and discover the past and present of the Jewish culture in Budapest.

It is a beautiful tapestry dating back centuries, with the community’s contributions visible in the architecture and lifestyle in of many places citywide today.

Our tour provides an exclusive guided walking excursion with detailed insight for those who want to get a comprehensive picture of the roles of the Jews in 19th-century Hungary, and to identify causes of 20th-century anti-Semitism culminating in the Holocaust.

While walking through Budapest’s historic and lively Jewish Quarter, an expert historian will brief you on the very complex subject of the Hungarian Jewish identity, and highlight how and why Jews integrated into Hungarian society over many centuries, while explaining attitudes of the Hungarian majority toward the Jewish population over time.
