Encyclopedia : E : ER : ERZ : Erzsébetváros

Erzsébetváros is the seventh district of Budapest, situated on the Pest side of the Danube. It has a reputation for being an artisan area and still has many places for musicians and craftsmen. The inner half of the district is home to the historic Jewish quarter of Pest, which was the last walled Jewish ghetto in Europe. The Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest functioning Jewish temple in Europe, is located in this district.

The largest Hungarian Jewish community is still to be found living in Erzsebetvaros. Erzsebetvaros is also known to be an upper middle class to wealthy area.
