Itinerary

The Round Tower

15 min Admission not included

A jewel from King Christian IV. This 17th-century cylindrical tower was built as an observatory. Its historical relevance lies in its proximity to the Jewish Quarter, symbolizing the academic and civic life surrounding the community.
Stop 2

10 min Admission not included

A symbol of resilience. Admire the iconic Moorish-revival facade, distinguished by its unique architecture, which has been the heart of Danish Jewish life since 1833.
Danish Jewish Museum

one hour Admission included

Housed in a historic building designed by Daniel Libeskind, the museum recounts the history of the Jewish people in Denmark, with a special focus on cultural integration and the dramatic 1943 rescue during World War II.
Nyhavn

20 min Admission included

More than just a beautiful harbor. Explore the canal areas that were vital to the 1943 rescue operation. The harbor and its boats served as the main escape route to neutral Sweden.
Christiansborg Slot

15 min

The seat of democracy. This palace houses the Danish Parliament (Folketing), the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court. Its proximity to the Jewish Museum symbolizes the closeness between the community and Danish political power.
