About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, real stops at the Great Synagogue, Gozsdu Courtyard, and the Jewish Museum. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include the Great Synagogue, Gozsdu Courtyard, and the Jewish Museum.

Gozsdu Courtyard is this tour's real hidden gem — a connected chain of seven buildings and courtyards built in 1901-02 to a design by Győző Czigler, funded by the will of a Transylvanian Romanian lawyer, Emanoil Gozsdu, who endowed it as housing for Romanian scholars. Long before it became Budapest's nightlife corridor, it operated as the city's first real shopping-mall-style passage, packed with Jewish-owned shops — locals used to joke that a couple could walk in undressed and come out fully clothed, down to a wedding ring, by the time they reached the other end.

All seven of its buildings fell inside the boundaries of the real Jewish Ghetto that existed in this district from November 1944 to January 1945, and the courtyard sat neglected and crumbling for decades afterward — it wasn't rebuilt into the bars and restaurants that fill it today until the 2000s and 2010s.

The Jewish Museum, the tour's other real highlight, is one of the oldest Jewish museums in the world — founded in 1909, originally housed in a single Budapest apartment with around 1,500 objects, before moving in 1931 into a purpose-built wing of the Great Synagogue itself. Its collection today includes genuine ritual objects from the Pest Hevrah Kaddishah burial society and a dedicated Holocaust room, alongside a synagogue that still seats roughly 3,000 worshippers as Europe's largest.
