Mural of Angel Sanz Briz Mural of Angel Sanz Briz

This apartment is ideally located in the Jewish District, the perfect place to learn about Jewish history and culture. Aside from the Great Synagogue, this district is also home to Dob Street, which features a Murals of Freedom series. This particular mural is a part of the series, honoring Angel Sanz Briz, the Spanish diplomat working in Budapest, who saved about 5000 Jews during WWII.

As a 100% Budapest born, it was something natural to be a local guide and show my lovely city to foreigners. I am oficially an economist but to be honest, i have never worked in that sector. I much more prefer explaining our history and the present life of locals to you. You can chat with me in English and Spanish, in both languages:)

Born in Paris to Hungarian/ French parents, I moved to Budapest in the 2000s. After having driven my Fashion business to catastrophe, I turned my craving for the wonderful, endless discovery of Budapest into my number one activity, and the first I am so passionate about. As a licensed and qualified tourist guide, I tend to show my guests things they wouldn’t find on their own. My bicultural background is also an advantage as it gives me multiple perspectives to understand Hungarian history and society.
