Description

Elisabeth Square (Erzsébet tér) is our meeting point. It is a lively central square in Budapest, known for its green spaces, the Budapest Eye Ferris wheel, hidden gems, statues and vibrant nightlife. It is a popular gathering spot with cafes, fountains, and cultural events. The Raoul Wallenberg Suitcase Memorial honors the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during World War II. The bronze suitcase symbolizes his mysterious disappearance and lasting legacy of courage and humanity. Madách Imre Square is a small yet vibrant square, known for its iconic archway leading to the former Madách housing complex. Surrounded by cafes and bars it serves as a gateway to the lively Jewish Quarter and reflects the city’s blend of history and modern urban life. The Rumbach Street Synagogue in Budapest is a stunning Moorish-style synagogue, designed by Austrian architect Otto Wagner in 1872. Recently restored, it serves as a cultural space and memorial, reflecting the rich Jewish heritage and history of the city. The 6:3 Street Painting commemorates Hungary’s legendary 6:3 victory over England in the 1953 football match, a defining moment in Hungarian sports history. Nearby, the Rubik’s Cube sculpture pays tribute to Ernő Rubik, the Hungarian inventor of the world-famous puzzle, celebrating the country’s contributions to creativity and innovation. The Jewish Ghetto Wall Fragment in Budapest is one of the last remaining pieces of the wall that enclosed the Jewish ghetto during World War II, offering a powerful reminder of the city’s tragic past. The nearby Ghetto Wall Exhibition provides historical context, featuring photos, documents, and personal stories that shed light on the lives of those confined within the ghetto. Király Street and Gozsdu is one of Budapest’s oldest and most dynamic streets, known for its mix of historic buildings, trendy cafes, and ruin bars. Once the heart of the Jewish Quarter’s commercial life, it now blends history with modern urban culture, making it a must-visit for those exploring the city. The Kazinczy Street Orthodox Synagogue is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture and the religious center of Budapest’s Orthodox Jewish community. Built in 1910’s, it features stunning stained glass, intricate woodwork, and a richly decorated interior, offering a glimpse into traditional Jewish life and customs. The Ghetto Memorial Wall in Budapest stands as a solemn tribute to the victims of the Jewish ghetto during World War II. Located near the Dohány Street Synagogue, it preserves a section of the original ghetto wall, reminding visitors of the city's tragic past and the resilience of its Jewish community. The Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest is the largest synagogue in Europe and a masterpiece of Moorish Revival architecture. Built in 1859, it serves as a religious center, Holocaust memorial, cemetery and museum, telling the story of Hungary’s Jewish heritage and resilience.
