The Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue, is a massive Neolog Jewish congregation in Budapest, Hungary. It's like the big daddy of synagogues in Europe, seating a whopping 3,000 people! Built between 1854 and 1859, this place is a mix of Moorish Revival and Romantic Historicist styles, with some serious Islamic architectural vibes. It's got a cool backstory too, surviving bombings during World War II and serving as a shelter for many during tough times. Plus, it's not just a synagogue – there's a museum, a memorial park, and even a cemetery on site. So, if you're ever in Budapest and want to check out a piece of Jewish history, this place is a must-see!

It coast from 10€-15€ to enter the Synagogue and it usually includes a guided tour. It take around and hour and a halv.
