Joining our Jewish Scandinavia Heritage Tour, visiting Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, offers a rare opportunity to explore the region’s Jewish past and present while experiencing three of Northern Europe’s most beautiful capitals.
In Copenhagen, discover more than 400 years of Jewish history, including the royal invitation in 1622, the dramatic rescue of Danish Jews during World War II, and the vibrant community that thrives today.
In Oslo, connect with Norway’s Jewish story — a small but resilient community that has endured wartime tragedy and built a dynamic presence in the heart of the city.
In Stockholm, encounter Sweden’s Jewish heritage, from historic synagogues to the city’s crucial role in sheltering Danish refugees during the Holocaust.
Throughout the journey, you are guided by local Jewish experts who bring these histories to life with personal insight and cultural context. The trip weaves together moments of resilience, survival, and continuity with the broader Scandinavian experience of art, architecture, and natural beauty.
It is not only a tour of three capitals, it is also a deeply meaningful journey that connects history, memory, and Jewish identity across Scandinavia. This round trip is led exclusively by expert local Jewish guides!
