JCC TRAVEL SERVICE

We don’t do tours. 

We build Jewish journeys.

Traveling in a group or individually?

Trust a local Jew to organize your experience.

WHAT IS THIS?

A personalized travel service by JCC Budapest, designed for groups and individuals alike. We offer meaningful, high-quality trips rooted in real community life.

WHY US?

  • Unique access to people and stories that bring Jewish life to the forefront
  • Trusted by both local and global partners.

Jewish community members seek more than heritage tourism.

They want connection, identity, and inspiration.

WHAT WE OFFER?

Authentic, people- centered Jewish experiences

High-touch planning and logistics from start to finish

Meet locals and learn about their lives, sources of joy and sorrow, challenges and successes

Come in a group or solo
