Hungarian Jewish Museum & Dohány Synagogue Complex: Fast Track

About this experience

Book Dohány Synagogue and Hungarian Jewish Museum fast track tickets Book these fast track tickets to visit the Dohány Street Synagogue and the Hungarian Jewish Museum in Budapest's historic Jewish Quarter without waiting in the ticket line. With your ticket you skip the ticket queue and go straight to the security check, then show the ticket on your phone at the final entrance. One ticket covers the whole complex, so you can plan around 2 hours and 30 minutes for the synagogue, the museum and the memorial garden. Built in 1859, the Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe, and its Moorish Revival towers are one of the best-known sights in Budapest. The Hungarian Jewish Museum stands in the same complex. In 1942, two museum staff hid the most precious items of the collection in the cellar to protect them, and today you can see those artworks, ritual objects and memorabilia in the permanent exhibition on Jewish festivals and the Jewish life cycle. What your ticket includes Priority entry to the Dohány Street Synagogue and the Hungarian Jewish Museum, including temporary exhibitions Entry to the Heroes' Temple, the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park and the Tree of Life Holocaust Memorial Entry to the Righteous Gentiles Memorial, the Holocaust Cemetery, the Forced Labor Holocaust Memorial, the Lapidarium and the synagogue graveyard An optional guided tour of 45 to 60 minutes covering the synagogue, the Heroes' Temple, the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park and the graveyard, with live guides in English, German, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish The memorials in the complex Behind the synagogue, the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park honours people who saved Jewish lives during the Second World War. At its centre stands the Tree of Life, a metal weeping willow whose leaves carry the names of Hungarian Jews killed in the Holocaust. The Heroes' Temple remembers Hungarian Jewish soldiers of the First World War, and the Holocaust Cemetery in the courtyard is the resting place of people who died in the Budapest ghetto. Many visitors find this part of the visit emotional, so allow time to walk through the garden slowly.
