Walk with me through the Jewish Quarter of Budapest
Join me on my Budapest Jewish Quarter walking tour at
You probably know the Budapest Jewish district for it's ruin pubs (Szimpla Kert, Fogasház, Instant), night life and gozsdu udvar party district. But there is more to that than this, and it is a very important part of the history of Budapest.
You might think that I am Jewish, based on my name. Sorry to disappoint, but I am not. My name Levi is short for Levente, which is a Hungarian name.
However, I did study a lot of Jewish history and culture, and have been immersed into how they were instrumental to the development of Budapest as a city. Because of that, this is one of my favourite tours to do.
My passion is to teach and share my stories and knowledge with people. I love to talk and I would love for you to listen and join me on this or any of my other tours. Budapest is a vibrant and trendy city now and I would love to show you my take.

The Magazine Hotel was such a great place, literally over looking St Stephens and a quick walk to the ruin bars and the Jewish Quarter! Take a look at Magazine Hotels website here or check out the pricing, reviews and more details here:
Budapest is a crazy cool place! This travel vlog is our first from Hungary and covers our exploring on the Pest side of Budapest. Today we visit (and drink at) some ruin bars & pubs, explore the cathedral known as St Stephens Basilica & walk around the Jewish Quarter.
Ruin pubs in Budapest are really popular - the bar scene in Budapest has a pretty good reputation globally! Prior to coming to Hungary we actually didn't know what a ruin bar was, so today we figured it out! One of our new fav type of pubs to travel around and explore.
St. Stephens Basilica is the largest church in Budapest and named after Saint Stephen of Hungary. Inside the church was stunning and definitely worth a visit on your travels around the city!
The Jewish Quarter of Budapest is home to a lot of the mentioned ruin bars and pubs, but offers a lot more as well. We loved walking around the streets here!

Introduction on Hungarian Jewish History (Hungarian Audio | English Subtitles)
Hungary's brief, golden age lasted from 1867 until 1914, during the half century of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Even though Budapest was badly destroyed in the Second World War and subsequently suffered from four decades of Communist-era neglect, the city is still a marvel of fin-de-siecle architecture, and we can see and feel her greatness.
During these times, Jews came fully out of the ghetto and into society and were passionately patriotic. There were Jewish bankers and industrialists, Olympic winning athletes and Nobel Prize winning scientists, award winning playwrights and internationally known novelists. There were even Jewish counts and barons. But this golden age died in the First World War, and while Hungary's Jews had a difficult time between the wars, nothing would prepare them for the horrors that swept down upon them in March 1944.

Jewish Quarter, Budapest
The Jewish district is the smallest in Budapest, yet it currently has the highest population density. This combination leads to an electric atmosphere – day and night – as the streets fill with a mix of happy locals and curious tourists.
The Jewish district is full with the historical remains of the Jewish community that once thrived here. There are three synagogues in the area with the Dohány Synagogue being the largest and, indeed, the second biggest in the entire world. Complete with a cemetery, a memorial garden and a museum, you can learn all about the Holocaust and the Budapest Ghetto that existed in this area. A small section of the wall, rebuilt from some of the originally-used bricks, still exists in the courtyard of a building on Király Street.
As you walk around, you’ll no doubt notice the narrow streets and passages – just like those on Gozsdu Udvar – connecting one long street with another. And, it’s on these streets that you’ll still find the bars and boutiques that make this area so interesting.

SUBSCRIBE: - Here's a very sad (and not as well known memorial) that forms part of the Holocaust dark chapter in our history. Jews killed by members of the nationalist Arrow Cross party at the end of 1944 and the beginning of 1945. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Romania to the east, Serbia to the south, Croatia to the southwest, Slovenia to the west, Austria to the northwest, and Ukraine to the northeast. The country's capital and largest city is Budapest.
Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube. Its 19th-century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.

Jewish Quarter visit in Budapest,Hungary
This is Budapest | Jewish Tour & State Opera
Whilst most tourists are nursing a Saturday night hang-over I'm up early in Budapest to take a Jewish Quarter tour and have a look around the Opera Building on Andrassy Avenue. It was great to see the Dohány Street Synagogue (the largest in Europe), enjoy the atmosphere at the Szimpla Sunday Farmers' Market and see inside the neoclassical Hungarian State Opera.

WHERE TO STAY IN BUDAPEST: A DISTRICT GUIDE -- True Guide Budapest
The city of Budapest covers more than 500 square kilometers. It is split down the middle by the River Danube, with the residential and hilly Buda on the west side, and the commercial, flat Pest on the east side of it. Budapest has 23 districts (kerület in Hungarian), which are numbered clockwise in widening circles (like Paris' arrondissements). It is easy to find the district from the address of a location, as the two middle digits of the four number zip code indicate it (for example: zip code 1056 means 5th district).
I created this district guide to help you choose where to stay in Budapest depending on the atmosphere and your travel style.
DISTRICT I.: romantic / first time visit
this is the castle district
DISTRICTS II., III., OR XII.: to enjoy greenery and relax
these are all on the hilly Buda side (Rózsadomb, Óbuda, Svábhegy)
DISTRICT V.: the downtown, ideal for business or for families with smaller kids
the city centre (Belváros)
DISTRICT VI.: on a budget and/or to enjoy the culture of the city
this are is called Terézváros
DISTRICT VII.: the Jewish neighborhood but also has great nightlife
this are is called Erzsébetváros
DISTRICTS VIII. AND IX.: cool but perhaps rough neighborhoods
they are called Józsefváros and Ferencváros
DISTRICTS IV. AND X.: they are mainly lower middle class residential and industrial districts
they are called Újpest and Kőbánya
DISTRICTS XI., XIII., AND XIV.: primarily upper middle class residential
district XI. is called Újbuda (on the Buda side), XIII. is Újlipótváros and XIV. is Zugló.
ALL OTHER DISTRICTS (XV., XVI., XVII., XVIII., XIX., XX., XXI., XXII., XXIII.) are further out from the city

I am a proud local Hungarian living in Budapest.
I was born and have lived in this beautiful city, Budapest for decades. I am in love with it - and not because I haven’t seen anything else. I am a seasoned traveller and I have also spent many years living abroad. However, my heart (and wife, and jobs and goulash soup and lángos) have pulled me back to my birth town. I love this city and know it inside out.
If you are fed up with the formal (and often wrong) recommendations of guide books, then follow my channel to find advice from a real local. I give you practical tips, show you cool spots and help you avoid tourist traps.
I live and love Budapest, I want to share my tips with you.

Wikipedia:
Erzsébetváros ( Elizabethtown) is the 7th district of Budapest, situated on the Pest side of the Danube. The inner half of the district was the historic Jewish quarter of Pest. The Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest functioning synagogue in Europe, is located in this district. Currently it is the most densely populated district of Budapest with 29,681.3 person per km2. In 1910 Erzsébetváros had 152,454 inhabitants. During the socialist era Erzsébetváros's population decreased rapidly, because young people and families moved to the newer panelized boom districts. Gentrification and recovery started in the middle of the 2000s
The Dohány Street Synagogue (Hungarian: Dohány utcai zsinagóga / nagy zsinagóga; Hebrew: בית הכנסת הגדול של בודפשט, Bet ha-Knesset ha-Gadol shel Budapesht), also known as the Great Synagogue or Tabakgasse Synagogue, is a historical building in Erzsébetváros, the 7th district of Budapest, Hungary. It is the largest synagogue in Europe, seating 3,000 people and is a centre of Neolog Judaism.
The synagogue was built between 1854 and 1859 in the Moorish Revival style, with the decoration based chiefly on Islamic models from North Africa and medieval Spain (the Alhambra). The synagogue's Viennese architect, Ludwig Förster, believed that no distinctively Jewish architecture could be identified, and thus chose architectural forms that have been used by oriental ethnic groups that are related to the Israelite people, and in particular the Arabs. The interior design is partly by Frigyes Feszl.
The Dohány Street Synagogue complex consists of the Great Synagogue, the Heroes' Temple, the graveyard, the Memorial and the Jewish Museum, which was built on the site on which Theodor Herzl's house of birth stood. Dohány Street itself, a leafy street in the city center, carries strong Holocaust connotations as it constituted the border of the Budapest Ghetto
