Let's discover the history, costumes, traditions and festivals together!Our journey is going to start from the meeting point (where is the most comfortable for you, for example your hotel), than we head straight to the Great Synagogue, the symbol of the Jews of Budapest. The religious and cultural life of the Jews living here took place mostly in the area bordered by the three important synagogues representing the three religious trends of Judaism in Hungary. This area is the so called "Jewish Triangle".
