Things to do in Dohány Street Synagogue

I participated in a half-day tour where the main attraction was a single synagogue. However, the tour didn't offer a detailed introduction to the synagogue itself or Judaism. Instead, it focused on the past and present of Judaism, personal perspectives, and group discussions. Everyone else on the tour was Jewish. I would recommend having some background knowledge or doing some research beforehand to better engage with the content, especially since the English presentation used too many specialized terms and names that were difficult for me to follow.

one of the highlights of our visit to budapest. make sure to take the cruise right before sunset so you get to see the views before and after it gets dark. the parliament building lit up is amazing. highly recommended!

Highly recommend this cruise around sunset where you can see the main attractions during the day and also when it’s dark enough for the buildings to be lit up. Head to the back of the boat to go upstairs for the best views.

amazing evening river cruise experience with such great values! really enjoyed the traditional Hungarian string quartet and dance! 2 thumbs up!! bravo !!

lovely experience. Indoor pools only, they have 3 of them and 1 jacuzzi, steam room and Sauna. Lounge chairs are first come, first serve. Feels more private and less crowded. The receptionist are very accommodating and welcoming.

Booking this cruise was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip! Timing it for sunset was absolute perfection because I got to experience the best of both worlds: watching the city glowing in the late daylight, followed by the breathtaking view of Budapest fully illuminated at night. ​Seeing the Parliament building and the bridges light up from the water is pure magic. The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and incredibly well-organized.

The tickets arrived quickly, and boarding was immediate after QR code verification. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The night view gets dark after 9 PM, so if your schedule allows, I recommend booking a later time.

easy to use,basically just show the qr code for entrance to sight seeing places,but not all places accepted advise to check your desired spots beorehand.

We booked this at the last minute the day before, and it was absolutely worth it. We were worried because of a sudden rain shower that day, but it didn’t take away from the stunning night views at all. There was a roof, so we were able to stay dry and enjoy the experience comfortably. It became one of the most unforgettable memories for our family.
