Kosher Travel in Central Europe: Where to Eat and Stay
Planning a kosher trip across Central Europe might seem complicated – especially outside major Jewish hubs. But with the right preparation and local support, you can enjoy a meaningful and fully kosher journey across Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and beyond.
Here’s our guide to kosher-friendly travel, based on our direct experience organizing tours for observant individuals and groups.

1. Kosher-Friendly Cities in Central Europe
Some cities have well-established kosher infrastructure, including restaurants, hotels, and synagogues. Our top destinations include:
Kraków (Poland): Kosher restaurants in Kazimierz, kosher-friendly hotels, mikvah, and active synagogues.
Budapest (Hungary): One of the strongest kosher scenes in Europe outside Israel. Several glatt kosher restaurants, kosher grocery stores, mikvah, and daily minyanim.
Prague (Czech Republic): Kosher dining, mikvah access, and Jewish Quarter services.
We help you navigate local resources and coordinate reservations.

2. Staying Kosher in Smaller Towns
Outside the big cities, kosher options are limited — but we make it possible:
Kosher catering: We work with certified providers who deliver sealed kosher meals directly to your hotel.
Self-catering with supervision: In apartments or hotels with kitchenettes, we help arrange proper kashering and utensils.
Bringing kosher supplies: We assist with customs rules and sourcing kosher snacks and meals before you travel.
We ensure you never feel stuck or unprepared — no matter where your roots take you.

3. Shabbat Planning
We organize Shabbat experiences that fit your level of observance:
Hotels within walking distance of synagogues
Late checkouts and keyless entry options
Shabbat meals prepared in advance
Havdalah and candle-lighting kits upon request
You can celebrate with comfort and intention, wherever you are.

4. Mikvah Access and Religious Needs
We coordinate:
Visits to mikvahs (in Kraków, Budapest, and other cities)
Minyan participation when possible
Special routes for kohanim or other halachic sensitivities
Let us know what you need — and we’ll handle it discreetly and respectfully.
