Overview:
Did you know Romania had the fourth largest Jewish population in the world?
The imprints of the Jewish culture in the local urban and popular civilization remains to this day a very important one.
You will be able to visit and admire the few architectural elements remaining in what used to be the Jewish quarter of Bucharest. We will walk through the narrow streets today flanked by communist apartments blocs and visit the community museum, now hosted in an ex-temple.
We will not miss the Great Synagogue with its Romanian Holocaust history and the unique Jewish State Theater, passing by the Laude-Reut educational complex.
Included is also the splendid, Moorish style and recently restored Coral Temple with its amazing 150+ years of history.
We end the tour with the Holocaust Memorial in Bucharest.
FYI: Given the events in Israel some of the locations might decide to close for visitors for safety reasons. Please inquire before booking.
