The synagogue and its history

Jewish symbols decorate the facade. Inside, the sanctuary is spacious and carefully restored. The building remains an active place of worship, so treat it with the same courtesy you would show at other religious sites.

Entry involves buzzing for access and a security check. International visitors should bring their original passport; other identification may not be accepted. There is an entrance fee, but no amount is specified here. English-language information may be limited, so a tour or audio guide can be useful if available.
