Explore The Rich Jewish Heritage And Iconic Landmarks Of Lisbon On A Private Tour


Begin your private exploration of Lisbon at the iconic Praça Dom Pedro IV, a central hub that serves as the perfect starting point for uncovering the city's deep historical roots.

Super welcoming shul and happy to pray in a Portuguese synagogue. The security does its work in line with the protocol as per the website and they are super nice btw. The shul is wooden made inside and looks like a bit Bevis mark in London . I fail to understand the bad comments I read there are rules to follow to enter the shul just stick to them. Pls come here and show respect and follow the minag of this shul .

Beautiful synagogue with a lot of history. Need to register before in a like for security reasons, either for a tour or for praying or just to visit. You need to enter the local community website.

Deeply Disrespectful and Disheartening Experience As observant Jews from Toronto who love visiting synagogues around the world to connect with our faith and history, our experience at this synagogue in Lisbon was nothing short of disgraceful. We had been in contact with Sandra Montez and had a confirmed date and time for our visit. We chose not to send our passport information over email for security reasons, which we made clear and were told to bring them in person, which we did. Despite following those instructions, we were abruptly turned away at the door with no consideration, no respect, and no basic decency. Yes, we understand the need for strict security. But we complied. We came prepared. What we did not expect was to be treated with such arrogance and disregard. This is not just poor management, it reflects a deeper issue of how our own are turning people away from the faith with coldness, rigidity, and disrespect. This is exactly why so many young Jews feel alienated. If you’re looking to feel connected to your roots, I urge you to support your local synagogue instead, a place where you’re welcomed, not shamed at the door. This experience left a sour taste, and it’s a shame to see such a historic place lose its heart.
