Stockholm Jewish Heritage Tour

In just six hours, we will cover the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Djurgården, each with its unique character and explore the Jewish Heritage of Stockholm, visiting both the Great Synagog and Jewish Museum.We will tour the really cool city districts of:

Södermalm:

The cool and bohemian neighborhood of the city, has small wooden houses dating back to the 1700s, amazing views of the city, and plenty of fashion, design, and great local bars.

Gamla Stan:

Or Old Town as the English would say, is where everything started. With its narrow alleyways and cobblestone streets, this island is home to the Royal Palace. History will unfold before us as stories and legends from long ago come alive! In fact, it was in the Old Town that the first synagogue and Jewish settlement was founded in 1775.

Norrmalm:

The name of Stockholm's city center. It is the center of modern Stockholm and has excellent shopping opportunities against the backdrop of City Hall, the site of the Nobel Prize Banquet. Also in the district is the Great Synagogue of Stockholm, with a lovely folkloristic interior and Assyrian exterior.

The Jewish Museum (Judiska Museet):

Find out about the history of the Jews in Sweden — how they integrated into Swedish society and their contributions to culture, art, literature, trade, and industry.

Östermalm:

With palatial apartment buildings, wonderful architecture, and strolling lanes, is the city’s most elegant neighborhood.

Djurgården:

The outdoor center for the locals of the city and home to many of the city’s museums, including the importance of the Vasa Museum, the Open Air Museum of Skansen, and the newest member, ABBA the Museum.

Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet):

The pride of the Swedish navy was the Vasa ship, commissioned between 1625 and 1628. And as she set off on her maiden voyage, she was given a big salute, but after sailing for 20 minutes, she went to the bottom of the sea. Today, the Vasa ship rests before us 98% intact. This is a WOW experience!
