Full description

The Dohány Street Synagogue, finished in 1859, mixes Moorish-revival and Byzantine styles and seats about 3,000 people. A guide shows you the sanctuary, explains the building’s history and tells the story of the community that built it.

The visit continues through the complex: the Hungarian Jewish Museum, the Heroes’ Temple, the cemetery of the former ghetto and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park, where the silver weeping-willow sculpture carries the names of Holocaust victims.
