Jewish Neighborhood in Bucharest + Jewish Museum

Join us on a walking tour of Bucharest’s Jewish Neighborhood. Together with a specialized guide, you will uncover the complex history of the Jewish community in Bucharest, a city that was once home to a significant number of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. The tour follows the establishment of the Jewish Quarter in Bucharest, as well as the evolution of the lifestyle and occupations of Jewish families in Bucharest along the centuries.

Our journey through time begins in the heart of the city. Escaping persecution and  seeking new opportunities, Jewish brought with them rich traditions and trades that greatly contributed to Bucharest’s urban development. As we visit the most significant sites, we will reveal stories of prominent Jewish figures and their influential roles in commerce, crafts, and the establishment of Romania’s banking system.

A highlight of our tour is a visit to the Jewish Museum, housed in the former Great Synagogue (ticket included in the tour price), which illustrates with artifacts, photographs, and documents the Jewish community’s resilience through periods of adversity such as the Holocaust and Communist Era in Romania.

Join us on this tour and gain profound insights into the Jewish heritage of Bucharest. Limited spots available due to group number limitations, be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible.
