About this tour
District VII is built around courtyards, and the same yards carry both the grief and the nightlife. The walk begins at the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe, and the garden behind it, which covers mass graves from the ghetto winter of 1944. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
