Discover the Jewish Quarter’s Rich History
In addition to street art, the tour delves into the history and culture of Budapest’s Jewish Quarter. The Jewish people and culture have played a crucial role in shaping Pest, Buda, and Óbuda (Old Buda). The once thriving Jewish community here was truly unique. Despite years of persecution and the devastation of World War II, many European Jewish communities were destroyed. However, numerous monuments and remnants of the old Jewish community can still be found here. The Jewish Quarter is now a vibrant mix of rich history and modern-day culture, presenting a striking contrast between modern shops and bars and old, crumbling structures with unique monuments.

The Jewish Quarter’s emblems of survival possess an alluring character that the world should witness. The former Jewish Quarter in district VII has a quaint atmosphere with characteristic people, a striking contrast of crumbling buildings and shiny new apartment blocks, and unique monuments. This makes it a thriving center for tourists and locals alike.
