An essential visit. The guided are excellent and informative, as stated in many other reviews. One gets a good understanding of the history and layout of the synagogue and also the depressing history of the Jews under German occupation in 1944/5. The museum is also interesting with some explanations of Judaism. Essential to purchase entry online (easy) to avoid lengthy queues at the entrance.

This is a memorial to the Jews captured and starved in the Ghetto of Budapest. It is a poignant and important site to remember this atrocity. The Synagogue itself is a building of impressive size and splendour with a tour included in your entry price.

This place really brings you back to earth with a bump. The history of what happened to the Jews is explained by a guide and also from detailed displays. A place of beauty and history. The cemetery is the reality of how many Jews died including all the children. A place that needs to tell the story.

Quite pricey at 9000 Huf per adult but this get you access to museum, memorial garden and synagogue itself. Stunning building. Cemetery and memorial garden very thought provoking. Sombering to consider the Jewish history. Museum informative.

Whether you are Jewish or not, you should not miss the opportunity to visit this place if you are visiting Budapest. Fantastic Architecture and the Memorials give you plenty to think about. The visit is worth the entrance fee of 9,000 Ft per person.

At first glance the building looks a bit like between a Byzantine church and a mosque. The architect Ludwig Förster believed there was no such thing as Jewish architecture and for this reason chose for a mix of elements taken from related ethnic groups, particularly Moor Arabs. Completed in 1859 in the Dohány neighborhood of Pest the synagoge served as a center of the Jewish community in the city. Severely damaged during Nazi occupation, the structure was restored to its former glory in 1991. Entrance fee to the complex 24€

Although worth a visit, we planned to schedule it into our day due to the large banner outside advertising 'Free guided tours all day, every day' Once there, we quickly realised there was a ticket booth & entrance cost £ 24, then you can have a free guided tour! Had we known this previously we would not have visited but having planned in into our day we did. We felt the advertising was very misleading.

Beautiful synagogue, wood work and marble. Also on grounds is the memorial tree, with Mamés of Hungarian holocaust victims , also has a small winter synagogue (not always open for view), restrooms and gift shop. Barbie was our amazing guide

It’s a bit confusing based on the website and signage at the synogogue, but when you get there, you buy a ticket and go in. Once you’re already in, there’s a short guided tour (mostly a talk on the history of the building and a short walk to the outside). It’s an interesting history, and especially after seeing countless random old churches it feels special. I think it would be a great visit if you share a cultural connection as well

Great building inside and out. Good intro with free intro by guide inside synagogue with lots of information and history shared by the guide prior to walking around. Well worth the visit, highly recommend. Bought tickets at venue, queue not too long. No discount for advance booking.
