From small, ancient synagogues tucked away in picturesque villages to historic Jewish quarters that whisper the secrets of time, every destination on our tour has a story waiting to be told.
One of the highlights of our Jewish tours is the majestic city of Porto, home to the Kadoorie Synagogue, the largest in the Iberian Peninsula. Here, you’ll step inside a magnificent place of worship that stands as a testament to the enduring presence and influence of Jewish culture in Portugal. Our guides will lead you through its history, architecture, and the efforts to preserve Jewish heritage in the region.
Further afield, in the charming town of Belmonte, you’ll discover a community that practiced Judaism in secret for centuries.
