Today the former Jewish quarter has come to life again and has become one of the most vibrating and frequented places in the downtown. Enchanting passages, modern-restored-rundown buildings are side-by-side. Ruin-pubs, cafés and designer shops pop up month after month, there is always something new to discover here! Although the surface has changed, you can still trace scenes of the Jewish life old and new.
Besides the Europe’s largest functioning synagogue, our favourites are the more tucked away smaller ones. Kazinczy street is not only about parties but is home to the orthodox community with its stunning Art Nouveau synagogue and the surprising Rumbach synagogue which is gorgeous even in its “still-waiting-for-better-days” state. With us you can also find a wall built in a courtyard representing the former ghetto wall with the motto “tell your son”….
And finally, Flodni. It is a Hungarian-Jewish pastry with all the essential ingredients of the Carpathian basin – apple, walnut, poppyseed and prune. Rich indeed! This richness is what we want to convey to you during this Fabulous Budapest tour.
Budapest, especially Pest has never been homogeneous – thinking of the all ethnic groups and the architecture. During the Habsburg times, there were more German-speaking inhabitants living in today’s downtown than Hungarians, let alone other nationalities. Later on the ratio changed, but all these different eras left their mark on the buildings. In one street you can see Classical, Art- Nouveau, Socialist style as well we few modern buildings. But buildings here are not made of stones, they are made of STORIES and formed by PEOPLE.

Just completed 21 days Europe : East to West with 13 other friends. An awesome trip. A little hectic, with lots of walking; however fully worth the walks and the money. Great itinerary with knowledgeable and responsible guides, comfy buses and premier hotels. No reason to complain at all. Sign up and NOT be disappointed. Kudos to Bookmundi.

You can encounter small local workshops in the downtown with delicate and quality art. Modern craftsmen/women and designers react to current trends and also differ from them dwelling on traditional motifs, patterns and methods. It’s a colourful world of textile, clothes, shoes, hats, accessories and last but not least perfume.
For example, you can enter a world full of secrets in the showroom of the “Hungarian Nose” aka perfumer, a young gentleman who was studying at the Versailles Perfume Academy and is creating scents for stars, businessmen, weddings etc. In his “hobby” showroom there is a selection of fine niche perfume from small manufacturers… You can also spend some time trying on unparalleled unique hats in a place where the simple word “hat” gains other meanings. Materials and shapes you wouldn’t imagine in your wildest dreams suddenly make you feel wearing hats is for you. And feel at home at the textile workshop, an association of various artists. Unique materials and techniques, vivid colours leave us amazed and with ideas for our own homes. These are just a few of the many places you can visit.
Tour guides were excellent. Hotels were very good, much better than expected with great breakfasts. Would have preferred skipping BMW headquarters for more time in Munich and skipping Svwarski Crystal in Innsbruck for more time in Salzburg. Everything was closed when we got to Salzburg which was disappointing. Otherwise everything was great.
