Dohány Street Synagogue, Budapest 
Dohány Street Synagogue, Budapest
The Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest is one of the largest synagogues in the world outside of Israel.
Description
The original synagogue was bombed and appropriated by Nazi Germany during World War II, and the synagogue was only formally restored during the 1990s.
Visit the garden to see the beautiful silver weeping willow memorial, whose leaves bear the names of some of Budapest’s deceased or missing Jewish population.
You will also find a touching memorial to Swedish diplomat Roual Wallenberg, who saved the lives of hundreds of Hungarian Jews during World War II. Large bags are not allowed in the synagogue and small bags may be searched on entry, so it is worth bearing this in mind when you are planning your visit.
The synagogue is open most days, except Saturdays.
