You step off a tram into the VII District and the city changes tone: tram rails hum, a river of footsteps threads between synagogue facades, and the air holds the scent of fresh bakery and spiced pastries. The guide leads you down Kazinczy and Dohány Streets, where carved stone, brass plaques and small courtyards keep stories close to the pavement.
