Where to stay
Hotels by walk or drive to minyan
Walking and driving time from each hotel to the nearest shul and kosher food. Tap a hotel for its map, phone numbers and directions.
Loading hotels…
Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
Minyan
Shuls & Chabad
Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
26 shuls, Chabad houses and kosher places in this city were added or completed by hand from Chabad, kashrut-agency and community websites (checked November 2026). Each one links to its source.
Not every shul is on the map yet: search synagogues on Google Maps. Denomination is shown only where it is mapped. Something wrong? Report a correction.
