The Dohány Street Synagogue is on every tourist's bucket list when visiting Budapest, but Jewish Budapest is much more than that. It is home to one of Europe's largest Jewish communities, with a rich cultural life that offers a variety of experiences for Jewish and non-Jewish toursits, foreign and domestic, and residents alike. 

Jewry is inextricably woven into the history of Budapest, but often people who live here don't even know who to associate a famous building, statue or anecdote with. 

This book aims at presenting, in an accessible and attractive way, a perhaps less known face of Budapest's present and past. It is not an exhaustive inventory, but an opportunity to dive in, explore and experience the atmosphere of Jewish Budapest.
