Overview
On this self-guided walking tour, you'll admire magnificent synagogues and murals in this quirky and storied neighbourhood. On this tour, you'll hear from Vince, born and raised in Budapest, a part-time tour guide, a history freak and a wine lover.

On this self-paced tour, you’ll go down its famous passages and streets past magnificent temples and synagogues and hear about the vast and enchanting history that unfolded there.
