How did the Jewish Quarter become the city's entertainment district?
A stroll through the colorful alleys of the "Old Jewish Quarter" in Budapest (District 7), which has undergone many upheavals over the years and transformed from a ghetto during World War II into the nightlife, underground culture, and street art area of Budapest today.
The Jewish Quarter in Budapest is full of unexpected contrasts and combines contemporary graffiti art alongside historical monuments, and trendy concept restaurants alongside homely kosher restaurants. The special character of the Jewish Quarter in Budapest is also partly derived from the walls of the ancient houses along the narrow stone alleys, from which huge graffiti paintings can be seen, with each painting hiding an interesting message or story.
The many changes over the years have led to the Jewish Quarter beginning to lose its historical identity and today some would say it is better known as the "party district" due to the variety of entertainment venues and the heavy traffic of tourists from all over the world who spend time there throughout the year. Despite all this, the importance of the Jewish community in Hungary is still significant for Zionism, from the days of Herzl to the present day.
On the tour we will also learn about the current state of the Jewish community, its attitude towards Hungary and Israel, and what the future holds for it. It is interesting to learn about it.
During the summer months, the artists' market is held along Gozdow Courtyard.During the tour we will pass by the various stalls (we do not stop for shopping).
Dozens of stalls selling local crafts, jewelry, souvenirs, antiques and lots of other special items.
During the tour, we will enter the ruined pub complex 'Simpla Kart' at the end of Kazinci Street.
⬤ The street, which was once associated with Budapest's Orthodox Jewish community, today serves as the center of the city's nightlife.
⬤ Old and ancient buildings next to Budapest's central entertainment areas (the new entertainment venues are adjacent to the ancient buildings of the Jewish community).
⬤ In the heart of the Jewish Quarter is the Kazinci pedestrian street, an ancient synagogue.
⬤ Kosher restaurants.
The Gozdó complex is the most popular entertainment complex in Budapest; tourists call it the "Bar Avenue."
⬤ Dozens of restaurants and cafes.
⬤ Bars and pubs.
⬤ Escape rooms.
⬤ Karaoke rooms.
A happy and colorful atmosphere every evening.
An experience for the eyes and ears, probably the place you will return to after the tour :)
The Jewish Quarter is full of secrets and special stories that only a local guide who lives and breathes the city can tell you - during the tour we will pass by some of the city's pearls with unforgettable stories.
Around the Great Synagogue of Budapest are a variety of signs (some in Hebrew) that tell part of the story of the place. During the guided tour of the Jewish Quarter, we will pass by Theodor Herzl Square and connect all the pieces of the puzzle.
The large plaza outside the synagogue is called Herzl Square. After the October 7 attacks, the Budapest Municipality, in cooperation with the Jewish community, decided to change the name of the square to the October 7th Square to identify with the hostages and raise awareness of their situation.
We will examine the Great Synagogue of Budapest from the outside - the largest synagogue in Europe.
The "Tree of Life" monument or the "Weeping Willow" monument in the Raoul Wallenberg courtyard.
We will look at the last remnant of the Budapest Ghetto wall (part of it has been restored).

This is not your typical food tour. Our food is a way to introduce you to the real people of the north and their stories.
Food has always told a great story about a place—the fresh ingredients grown locally, the aromas, the smells, and the spices scattered by loving hands that worked to preserve a history not written in books, stories of recipes passed down from father to son and mother to daughter, power struggles, dramas,
Loves, and especially people.
Tasting tours with an emphasis on special stories and interesting encounters, places to return to, and a joyful atmosphere.

I have always loved traveling. Short tours and long trips, far and near, what could be more fun than breathing fresh air and gazing at the horizon? After a first career working with computers, in 2015 I finally became a tour guide who loves the country, especially Haifa and the Galilee!
Today, I invite you to discover our country and open your hearts to the sights, people, hidden corners, and strong flavors. I believe that there is nothing like an experience that combines our senses to connect us to this place.

Once upon a time, two friends with a shared love of food, markets, and people—
They arrived in the big city and were struck by the aroma of sweet, fresh challah bread.
It was clear that something was brewing.
So we started traveling, tasting, listening, getting to know, cooking
And to connect all of these into a single experience that is much more than a culinary tour.
That's how FOODTOURA was born – out of a genuine desire to make every visit to the market
For a celebration of flavors, stories, connections, and laughter.
We have assembled an excellent team of women—all talented actresses.
With infectious energy and the ability to turn any group into a band.
Each one brings its own charm to the market stage.
And us? We continue to lead an experience that connects people through food, emotion, and curiosity.
And a cocktail in hand.

"I am a Neapolitan “D.O.C.” (born and raised in Naples). My great-grandfather, Giuseppe, was a folk theater actor in 1898 and played Pulcinella—a mask that is both happy and sad, which captivated many foreign intellectuals. This artistic family background perhaps drives me to love Naples and its ancient history."
