Itinerario
Da Piazza Herzl e dalla Grande Sinagoga iniziamo la passeggiata guidata nel quartiere ebraico, che comprende i principali punti di riferimento del ghetto della seconda guerra mondiale del 1944.
La Sinagoga di via Dohány, nota anche come la Grande Sinagoga, è un edificio storico di Erzsébetváros, il 7° distretto di Budapest, in Ungheria. È la sinagoga più grande d'Europa, con 3.000 posti a sedere, ed è un centro dell'ebraismo neologista. Scoprirete non solo perché questa sinagoga è unica dal punto di vista architettonico, ma anche il destino dell'ebraismo ungherese all'epoca della Seconda guerra mondiale, oltre a sapere che molti personaggi di fama internazionale erano ebrei ungheresi.
Fermatevi alla sinagoga moresca Rumbach Sebestyén utca, costruita nel 1872 dall'architetto secessionista austriaco Otto Wagner per la comunità "conservatrice moderata". Le decorazioni interne risplendono nella loro antica e graziosa luce dopo il lifting a lungo richiesto.
Durante la guerra, il diplomatico svizzero Carl Lutz contribuì a salvare decine di migliaia di ebrei di Budapest dalla persecuzione e dalla deportazione. Nell'area dell'ex ghetto di Budapest si trova un monumento dedicato alla sua memoria.
In una piccola strada laterale si trova la sinagoga ortodossa di Budapest. La sinagoga ortodossa fu costruita nel 1913 con un design all'epoca molto moderno. Presenta tocchi tardo art nouveau ed è interamente decorata con colori vivaci. Le vetrate del soffitto sono state disegnate da Miksa Róth.
Rendiamo omaggio al memoriale Scarpe sulla riva del Danubio, inaugurato il 16 aprile 2005, in memoria delle vittime ebree assassinate in questo sito durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Furono costretti a togliersi le scarpe prima di essere fucilati sulla riva del fiume, i loro corpi portati via dal Danubio. La scultura, raffigurante le scarpe lasciate indietro, si erge come un simbolo struggente di perdita e ricordo.
Verso la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, gli ebrei di Budapest furono ammassati in un ghetto, di cui una piccola sezione del muro di cinta si trova ancora nel cuore di Budapest. Venite con noi a scoprire i segreti del ghetto, la vita dei suoi detenuti e il loro destino finale.
Termina il tour con un boccone di storia – flódni, un patrimonio di sapori.

Julia is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to while we walked around the Jewish Quarter. She provided us with a wonderful overview of many historical facts during the tour. The places she took us to were very interesting and we felt that we got an exceptional and memorable picture of the history and lives of Jews in Budapest.
I had an incredible experience with Petra as my tour guide in Budapest. She arrived at my hotel right on time and was extremely informative. Her knowledge of the Jewish history in Budapest was outstanding. She took me to the Great Synagogue and several other synagogues, explaining everything in deep detail. We also visited the Danube River to see the bronze shoes. The day was perfectly organized, and the entire history she shared was so moving. I highly recommend Petra—she was simply excellent.
Petra was extremely thorough and informative. Very interesting to hear all her stories and explanations. She has a very strong passion and highly recommend her.
Julia was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We learned a lot about the Jewish quarter and also about Budapest. Julia was able to answer all of our many queries. We never felt rushed which was important as we were traveling with my 86 year old mother.
We had a wonderful tour with DR KATE LAURENSZKY! She brought us all around the Jewish sites with her friend Tanya driving us. We were able to see so much more than just walking.

Petra was kind, informative and dedicated to finding us. The email reminder and app booking details stated a meeting point that was not our hotel. She found us though!
I’ve done several walking tours in Budapest, but this Jewish Heritage tour was by far the most powerful and memorable. It’s not just a tour — it’s a journey through history, culture, and deeply moving human stories. Walking through the Jewish Quarter, you don’t just see the landmarks, you begin to understand what happened here and why it still matters today. Our guide was exceptional. The way they connected historical facts with personal stories made everything feel real and relatable, not distant or textbook-like. You could feel the weight of history, especially at places like the Shoes on the Danube Bank. Visiting the Dohány Street Synagogue was a highlight — an incredible place with so much history and meaning behind it. What really stood out is the quality of the experience. This is not a crowded, rushed free tour — it’s a well-organized, professional experience with a guide who is attentive, engaging, and easy to follow. This tour strikes the perfect balance between education and emotion. It’s respectful, engaging, and truly eye-opening. If you want more than just sightseeing — if you want to actually understand Budapest — this is the tour to take.

We hope to welcome you back to Budapest in the future. Best regards,
