Budapest Synagogue and the Jewish Museum

dohany utca zsinagogaThe glorious building of Budapest Synagogue in Byzantine Moorish style is the largest synagogue of Europe. It was built by Viennese architect Ludwig Forstner in the middle of 19th century. One of Budapest’s most imposing historical monuments it is faced in white and red brick with a wealth of ceramic decorative elements and two onion dome towers. The Jewish museum has an unequalled collection of Jewish related items from Roman period to the 20th century.

The Budapest Synagogue is situated in the Dohany Street and it is between the Astoria and the Deak Ferenc (ter) square closer to Astoria. Easy to get there by public transport: bus, tram, trolley bus, subway (metro) because it is in the city center of Budapest.

The Jewish Museum built in fitting style and attached to the uniquely beautiful Dohany Street Synagogue has an unparalleled collection of Judaica.

Permanent exhibitions: devotional objects for Jewish celebrations, everyday objects, history of the Hungarian Holocaust.

How to get to the Statue Park Budapest?

By car if you have a rental one just find the road number 7 on the Buda side of the Capital City the direction is Lake Balaton. When you pass the border of Budapest you’ll find the Statue Park on the right side of the road about 5 miles. (South Buda cornef of Balatoni street and Szabadka street)

By Volanbus (autobus) from the Etele Square bus station with a yellow bus the direction is Erd city through Diosd (village).
Important you can go to Erd on a different way with another yellow bus from Etele square do not take the bus to Erd on the M7 highway, that is wrong if you wanna go to the Statue Park Hungary, take the Diosd way only!
The trip takes about 10-15 minutes long, possibly the bus driver will help you and remind you at the right stop. Ask him to say something, maybe he speaks some English.

The easiest way to get to the Statue Park by cab (not only yellow cab) in Hungary only some of the are yellow.

This is the most expensive way. There is a lot of cabs in the city of Budapest. An advice if you want to pay less do not catch a cab on the street call one from the cab (taxi) company like www.fotaxi.hu If you get a cab on the street in Budapest better before he starts to go there arrange the exact price this way he won’t cheat on you!

Direct bus from Budapest downtown Deak Ferenc square subway station every day 11 am (in July and August even 3 pm).

Prices for the entrance ticket only HUF 600, direct bus plus entrance ticket is HUF 2400. If you have Budapest Card you have the discounted HUF 1950 price.
If you need the direct bus and the ticket and English guiding it’ll cost HUF 4450.
If you do not know anything or just something about communism how bad it was this excursion is a good way to find something out it. Visit the Statue Park Budapest.
