Free Tour of Budapest Jewish Quarter and World War II
♡ Save
On this unique tour, you will have the chance to learn, see and feel the reality of what happened in Hungary during the Second World War, exploring the Jewish quarter.
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.

Budapest in Winter: Cold-Weather Guide and 3-Day Plan
Budapest in winter is exceptionally rewarding for travellers who appreciate outdoor thermal baths in freezing weather, lower accommodation rates, and classic seasonal markets. Although days are short and temperatures regularly hover around freezing, the city's grand architecture, world-renowned indoor bathhouses, and hearty comfort food make it well worth a trip between December and February.
