    An essential experience. The main body of the synagogue is magnificent. The museum and the memorials that form part of the complex are both interesting and a heartbreaking reflection of the suffering of the Jewish people. Afterwards, go and see the memorial of the shoes of the murdered Jewish children on the Danube bank close to the Parliament. Poignant in the extreme

    Interesting talk sitting in the beautiful synagogue. Maybe a “walk around” with anything that was particularly interesting being explained would have been good. After that left to own devices to wander around. Couldn’t help feeling perhaps we’d not seen everything.

    Skipped the line, wasn’t too long though. You enter the premises at the mentioned time and join the group based on the language you’ve chosen. Watch for the flags to identify. Listen to the guide explain the history of the place and take a walk around the premises
