Eruv in Budapest: there is an eruv for Shabbat
Pest has an eruv covering the Jewish Quarter, the synagogues and the centre up to Parliament. Buda is outside it. The eruv is checked weekly - confirm its status before Shabbat.
Shabbat meals in Budapest
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat, so Friday-night dinner and Shabbat lunch are at the Chabad house. Register ahead - most close bookings by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

Our guide
The Great Synagogue on Dohány Street - the famous one, the largest in Europe - belongs to the Neolog stream, with an organ and mixed seating. The Orthodox community is on Kazinczy Street, about five minutes' walk away in the same Jewish Quarter, and that is also where the mikveh and the kosher restaurants are - Hanna and Carmel.
Stay in the kosher area of Budapest
In Budapest, sleep in the 7th around the Dohány Street synagogue, not over in Buda. From there you walk to Chabad and the restaurants. For Shabbat, arrange a meal ahead.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
