Second in size only to the one in New York, this amazing Byzantine-Moorish structure is situated on the edge of the Old Ghetto. Restored and re-inaugurated in the presence of famous Jews such as Yitzhak Rabin and Tony Curtis, this is the ideal place to begin visiting the historic Jewish area of Budapest. Enjoy the history and grandeur.
