Jewish Bratislava

What to expect

A guided walking tour with Bratislava Tours through the heritage of the city’s Jewish community. For centuries it was an important part of life in Bratislava, and the tour visits the places that still tell its story: religious sites, a museum and memorials to the victims of the Holocaust.

For travellers interested in history and culture who want to understand the city beyond the main sights.

• the Chatam Sofer Memorial, the resting place of the rabbi, writer and educator who led the Jewish community
• the Museum of Jewish Culture, with religious and historical artefacts in one of the few original buildings that remain
• the Holocaust Memorial by Milan Lukáč
• the synagogue on Heydukova Street, the only one preserved in Bratislava
• a walk through the historic centre

Before you go

The tour starts at 10:00 on Hviezdoslav Square, in front of the Opera House of the Slovak National Theatre. Dress modestly and bring a head covering, as some religious sites may ask for it. Discuss any specific access needs when booking.
