On a trip to Jewish Copenhagen

Take a historical walk through Danish Jewish history in Copenhagen, where on the five kilometer long trip you will pass selected points of impact that show some of the facets of Danish Jewish cultural history.

The route starts at the Danish Jewish Museum's unique architecture and takes you, among other things, past the site of Copenhagen's first synagogue and to the atmospheric Jewish burial ground in Nørrebro.

Along the way, you will meet buildings and memorials, each of which contains important stories about Jewish life in Denmark over 400 years. Jews have lived everywhere in Denmark since Christian IV invited Jews to settle in Glückstadt in 1622. In several market towns, but especially in Copenhagen, there are still traces of a rich Jewish life.
