Hotels near Dohány Street Synagogue
Dohány u. 2, Budapest 1074
The Dohány Street Synagogue (Dohány utcai Zsinagóga) is the largest synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world after Temple Emanu-El in New York. Built between 1854 and 1859 in a Moorish Revival style by Viennese architect Ludwig Förster, it seats 2,964 people. The twin onion-domed towers and ornate facade make it one of the most distinctive buildings in Pest.
The complex includes the synagogue itself, the Jewish Museum, a memorial garden with the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park, and the Tree of Life - a weeping willow sculpture in metal, each leaf engraved with the name of a Hungarian Holocaust victim. Guided tours run throughout the day and last about an hour, covering the history of Jewish life in Budapest from medieval times to the present.
Pro Tip: Buy tickets online to skip the queue, which can stretch 30-45 minutes in summer. The guided tour is included in the ticket price (around 7,000 HUF / €19) and provides context that makes the visit far more meaningful than walking through solo.
