Its possible to turn up at the entrance and get tickets for the museum tour and Synagogue together. Very moving and you will leave a different person.

Very impressive and beautiful restored building with a disturbing history. The group needing an English guide was quite large making it difficult to hear everything the guide was saying, yet without a guide, you will miss the explanation of customs and history.

I could appreciate only from outside. The construction is beautiful, but the period to visit is very limited.

I just enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the design of this place. Great for photos. Next to the hop on and hop off tour bus. Around many shops and restaurants.... More

The synagogue in Budapest is the most ornate synagogue I have ever seen! It is really dazzling and huge, and it is interesting to see a synagogue of this size. It's special and fascinating to see such a beautiful synagogue in eastern Europe and is definitely worth a stop.

That memorial tree in the courtyard is amazing and, again, quiet sobering and very touching.
