The world's largest synagogue outside of New York. Has both Romantic and Moorish architectural elements. Contains a holocaust memorial room relating to the events of 1944-45.

Catarina Cabral

Biggest synagogue in Europe, really amazing on the inside. It has a Jewish Museum and a Memorial to the Victims of the Nazi and Soviet dictatorships. You can have a guided tour . It's worth a visit.

Natalie Ireland

Beautiful building, moving memorial and a lovely sculpture at the back. Perhaps not enough to see for the money. Maybe do the tour if you're really interested in the story and history.

Fluying ✅

The 2nd biggest synagogue worldwide, it's construction was commissioned to a Gentile and (vaguely) designed according to the biblical descriptions of Salomon's Temple . Tours are recommended and cheap

Elsa Pollard

Excellent private tours offered! Wonderful neolog example. Good Budapest ghetto exhibition on.

Katarina Grujbarova

Must see in Budapest. Beautiful synagogue , largest in Europe, with unique genius loci and important message fir the visitors

Vsevolod Borisov

A lot of details about Jews religion and history revealed during walkthrough. This synagogue style is remarkable and outstanding. And history is amazing.

Jakub Kratina

Even though little higher price, it's nice history place with guides. Mass burial with more then 2000 corpses was intense.

Known as the Great Synagogue , this Moorish-style building was completed in 1859. It is among the largest temples in the world.

Entrance fee is 3000 forints.Add 700 forint for a group guide. Well worth it !

Catherine McNeel

Beautiful! Free tours with your ticket. Museum included. Rich and interesting history that is so so important.

soshial

The Jewish muzeum is very small. The sinagogue and the garden are nice, BUT it's definitely not worth 4000HUF (≈€15).

Devon B

The Synagogue is closed in the winter for worship and only open to tourists , as it's not heated. As such, you'll want to bundle up before the tour - sitting in there for 30mins is fa-reezing!

Helen

The interior is really beautiful but in my opinion the entrance is overpriced. If you are really a synagogue lover or have never been into one, then you should visit.

Ringaile V

Once you are in Budapest, it's a must to see. Amazing tours

Maciej Winiarski

Synagogue is absolutely amazing but I think the charge is too high. We paid ~45 EUR (payment in HUF with spread-free card) for a family of five.

Erick

Breath taking, the world largest Synagogue , Baruch HaShem, He granted me to visit this place

Glenda McKinney

Closed to tourists on Saturday and early on Friday. Take the tour for the best experience. We were introduced to the Sunday market by our guide.

Michalis

Biggest in Europe. Quite nice but with a pricey ticket. 4500 huf

Maggie

Tour guides here are really knowledgeable - don't pass up a free tour !

Robert Jensen

Rather expensive , but the experience is quite unique

BB One

Must see and feel this beautiful place.

It costs €24 to enter this religious place where most places around the world doesn’t cost this much. Even Vatican is cheaper. Don’t go.

Nelli Pellinen

Take the tour ! Excellent guides!

Nagyon szép megéri megnézni | really beautiful synagogue worth a visit

Nistha

Good guided tour . Beautiful Synagogue .

Priya Tungrus

Closes early on Fridays. Costs 3000 Hft for entry. Beware of lots of 'tour guides' outside offering alternative services.

Anna Anna

Incredibly beautiful but incredibly expensive .

Wittyboi

It was of a must see place for me #12tribe

Laura KS

Huge disappointment and felt like a total ripoff. Museum was closed (no info on it) and yet the price was still double compared to any other museum or exhibition in places double the size of this one.

Martyna ????

2000 HUF for students, no student card needed

Tema Stankevich

Kristýna Michálková

It is really beautiful, but the Jewish Museum is not worth it. Too expensive for what you get. Don't recommend at all.

Alex

There are two other nearby for 2 euro each. Skip this and visit other two. Dont return hat to them.

Artem Papilov

Honestly speaking, a bit boring

Juan Carlos Betancourt

It’s not worth it!

ssstupendo

Uncoordinated services, long waits and overprized.

Kevin  Iombie

They reuse the hat. Don't wear if u don't want catch lices.

Panagiotis Vasiliadis

Overpriced, nothing special to see. It's not worthy.

Julia Konkova

Узнали много нового для себя! Внутри синагоги напротив лавочек стоят таблички с флагами, мы сели рядом с российским флагом и через 5 минут подошёл русскоговорящий гид и провел для нас экскурсию .

Vicente Martinez

Fue genial que tuvieran visita guiada en castellano, ya que todo se entiende mejor. La Sinagoga como edificio está genial, una buena arquitectura . No obstante, el precio algo elevado.

Leo

Peçam a visita em espanhol e, se derem sorte, terão uma exclusiva visita em português, já que a guia é também fluente no nosso idioma .

George

Садитесь на скамейку с флагом , к вам подойдёт гид и проведёт экскурсию на вашем языке

1854-59 nach Plänen des Wieners Ludwig Förster im maurischen Stil errichtet. Die Synagoge in der Wiener Tempelgasse stammt auch von Förster u weist Ähnlichkeiten mit diesem Gebäude auf
