It is a beautiful synagogue and a historical site and all, but the price for the admission ticket is ridiculous - 10.800 forint which means 27 euros per person, which makes it more expensive than the Eiffel Tower or any attraction in Paris or London. That’s absolutely crazy, especially for Eastern Europe / Hungary. Beautiful but after I made the math / conversion and realized how much it had cost me (and how it was more expensive than a night at my hotel room), I couldn’t enjoy the place…

Great Synagogue is exactly that as it is indeed a large edifice. The exterior is clearly inspired by middle eastern architecture, but it isn't awe inspiring in any way. The lines and detail are fairly pedestrian, but it's the indoor portion that you'll want to see. Access is permitted with a ticked, which is pretty expensive for Budapest, and the lines can get long as it is a regular stop for many tours.

Quite an experience to visit this lovely building, the second largest synagogue in the world. It looks like a church for a reason but I'll let you visit and find that out. The monuments to the Hungarian Jews killed in 1945 to homegrown Nazis are very moving. Take the free tour, they start every half hour.

Beautiful, historic synagogue. Security is very strict these days. Do not bring any bags with you. My usual camera bag, which is not been a problem in other security places disqualified me from entering in the synagogue. The price of entry is costly, but worth it.

Very interesting place especially if you learn its history. Interesting exhibitions about the history of the Jewish people. The only downside is the very high ticket price, so it is worth going only if you are sure that this type of place interests you.
