Jewish Heritage Copenhagen Shore Excursion

TOUR DESCRIPTION

You will be met by the guide at the gate of the cruise harbor in Copenhagen.

After a short ride in a public bus you can feel yourself like a local. In 10-15 min we will arrive to the very center of Old Town Copenhagen - the King's New Square.  We will see the iconic New Harbor canal - with the colored medieval buildings and lots of historic wooden boats.

We will walk through one of the longest pedestrian streets in the world (not the whole street of course) and see the main monuments from the Middle Ages: - churches and the Round Tower (going up the tower is optional at your own expense). In Old Town you will see the center of the Jewish Community at the Great Synagogue. Further on, we'll get to Castle Island and the stupendous building of the Danish Parliament and the Old Stock Market. On Castle Island we will visit the Jewish Museum and learn about the history and life of the Jewish community in Denmark.

After a tour of the Jewish Museum your guide will accompany you to the main pedestrian street and advise on the places to visit on your own. Like for instance the little Mermaid which Copenhagen is famous for. And where to have the best meal in the city. Your guide will also explain how to get back to the port at the end of your free time (bus ticket included in the price) OR accompany you to the bus stop right away.
