Explore Copenhagen’s Jewish history, from 1622 to the 1943 rescue, on a thoughtful private walking tour with an expert guide.

“Our tour guide had excellent knowledge of Copenhagen Jewish history. Her tour presentation was very logical and was very open to questions. We enjoyed the time on the tour. As a side benefit she pointed out recommendations for a bakery and sausage food truck near the tour. If you are a vegetarian don't miss out on the veggie sausage sandwich with everything on it.”
