Description

The Jewish Quarter is the living history of Budapest. Today it is known for the murals that decorate many of its buildings and because it is the cradle of the Ruin Bars, but the most surprising thing is that just over 60 years ago it was a ghetto! And that is why it is essential to visit it with a guide.

In our Free Tour we will visit the 3 synagogues, we will see the ghetto wall, the Monuments to the Righteous Among the Nations, the stumbling blocks, the urban art... and much more. We will talk about the Jewish people, kosher food, the Orthodox community and all its peculiarities. And on a historical level, we will focus on unraveling a very specific stage, what happened in Hungary during 1944 and 1945? When the Arrow Cross Party, the representatives of Nazism in Hungary took power.

And we are not going to lie to you, this is a vibrant, powerful and crude journey at times, but necessary? You know that he who does not know his history, is condemned to repeat it. Requirements: - A minimum of 6 people is required for the tour to begin. - Group bookings of 6 or more people must pay 10 euros or 5000 HUF per person at the beginning. Otherwise, they will not be admitted.

Tour del ghetto ebraico

Dopo un inizio un po’ “faticoso” il tour è diventato più utile e interessante, peccato che (essendo sabato) tutte le sinagoghe fossero chiuse

¡Gran tour y Sofía es una guía excelente!

El tour es súper interesante. Esencial para conocer el impacto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el Nazismo en la ciudad. Además nuestra guía, Sofía, fue muy amable, cercana y nos contó muchas curiosidades sobre el barrio judío. Muy recomendable!!

Primo tour a Budapest, giro interessante per le storie che riserva a tratti emotivamente intense per ovvie ragioni. Brava Perla! Molti spunti da approfondire.
