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.
123 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.
Food
Kosher food
Each card names its hechsher and the agency, vaad or Chabad list it comes from. Places marked “Tagged kosher on OpenStreetMap” have no hechsher source yet. We don’t certify anything: always check the hechsher yourself.
Search kosher on Google Maps for places not on our map yet.
