Full description
The Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives presents exhibitions on the history of Jewish life in Hungary, set alongside the synagogue in the Jewish quarter. Reviewers mention that the entrance ticket includes a guided tour, though tour quality varies, and describe the impact of the Holocaust as the emotional centre of the visit.
The museum is compact, and some visitors felt it could be covered in about ten minutes and would like more depth. It suits those wanting context on Budapest's Jewish heritage, best combined with exploring the surrounding district.

The history behind this Synagogue is pretty interesting. The ticket entrance included a tour however I was not really happy with the person that provided the tour so I went back a second time and got a different Tour Guide, which was so much better.
