Why Dohany Street Synagogue matters
The synagogue is a Moorish-style building with twin towers and a spacious interior. A garden and memorial next to it honour victims of the Holocaust. A visit is both beautiful and sombre. Dress modestly and check the visiting rules, because the site is an active place of worship and remembrance.
Talking points
- It is among the largest synagogues in the world.
- A memorial garden honours victims of the war.
