Sighet Walking Tours

Although a small city, Sighet is quite picturesque, situated in the heart of the very authentic Maramures Region of Northern Romania. Embraced by two rivers, the Iza and the Tisa, The Hungarian meaning of “Sighet” is island. Roughly half of Sighet’s population was Jewish before May 1944, when deportations to Auschwitz started taking place. The numerous traces of Sighet’s Jewish past tell a remarkable story about the city’s origins and it’s importance as a major cultural hub for various Jewish schools and traditions.

Tarbut Foundation is offering guided historical tours through the city to all known and hidden Jewish sites. You can find out more about some of Sighet’s Jewish sites and history on our Sighet page dedicated to the city. While any tourist coming to Sighet can walk through the points mentioned, a guided one day Tour will include more sites and in depth historical background information. We very much recommend it!

We offer tours between May and September. Bookings can be made for individuals, families or groups. You can contact us directly for more information and bookings.
