Built in Neo-Moorish style, it can accommodate up to 3,000 people and represents one of the most important places of Jewish culture in Budapest.

    The visit will allow you to admire the imposing architecture of the Synagogue and to learn about its history, from the architects who oversaw its construction to the role it has played in the life of the Jewish community.

    Visitors will also discover the connection of the Synagogue to the history of the Holocaust and the old Jewish Quarter, by visiting the garden where the graves of the victims of the Budapest Ghetto are located.
