Review:
One of the most popular attractions in Budapest, the Dohany Street Synagogue is often called the Great Synagogue. Consecrated in 1859, the synagogue can seat over 3,000 people, making it the biggest synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. Visitors can spend a day exploring the stunning synagogue complex, which houses the Jewish Museum and its extensive collection of religious relics as well as the Heroes' Temple, which serves as a memorial to Hungarian Jews who lost their lives in World War I.
The rear courtyard holds the Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park, which has the Memorial of the Hungarian Jewish Martyrs - a weeping willow statue that has the names of the more than 400,000 Jews who were murdered by the Nazis inscribed on the leaves.
