Jewish Europe

Following Jewish history across Europe.

Before Israel, there was Toledo, Córdoba, Lisbon, Venice, Rome, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Kraków, Amsterdam and many more. Centuries of Jewish history are written into the streets of Europe — sometimes visible, sometimes erased, often invisible to anyone who doesn't know how to look.

Expérience Confidentielle designs private itineraries to read that history, understand it and connect it to the present — without turning your stay into a permanent history lesson.

The Sephardic route

Toledo · Córdoba · Girona · Lisbon · Venice · Rome. A history of displacement, creation, memory and transmission, told by historians and specialists who know these cities from the inside.

The Ashkenazi route

Prague · Vienna · Budapest · Kraków · Amsterdam. A dense history, at times painful, always alive — approached with the measure and intelligence it demands.

Culture, pleasure, and a living city.

A stay is never only its historical thread. Restaurants, design, art, music, markets, architecture and open time let you experience the city as it is today.

The format

A long weekend, or considerably longer. One city, or two or three in sequence. Private guides, a hotel chosen for you, bespoke experiences, encounters, archives where they add something — and enough breathing room to keep the whole thing alive.

Frequently asked
Which itineraries do you offer around Jewish history in Europe?+

Projects may explore Toledo, Córdoba, Girona, Lisbon, Venice and Rome along Sephardic lines, or Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Kraków and Amsterdam around Ashkenazi history.

Can you arrange a private weekend around a single city?+

Yes. An experience can concentrate on one city over a few days or link several stages together.

Are the experiences purely historical?+

No. History may be the thread, but the stay also takes in the contemporary city: food, art, architecture, music, encounters and free time.

Are the guides private?+

Where the project calls for it, yes. Guides and speakers are chosen for the city, the theme, and the way you like to learn and talk.
