Stockholm-Jewish-Heritage-Tour

We start the tour with our first stop at the impressive panoramic viewpoint of  Monteliusvagen.
Then we move towards Gamla Stan (Old Town)  to get insight into the long lasting German influence and the many attacks of the Danes during the Middle Ages.
Due to the Swedish neutrality nothing has been destroyed here in the last 400 years.

Then walk through the narrow cobblestone streets, passing the Royal Palace and to Tyska Brunnsplan square, named after the German community that once occupied this area, where  Stockholm’s first synagogue, was founded in 1790.

We  continue to the Conservative Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue. Inaugurated in 1870, it still has an active congregation with more than one thousand members. On the walls of the entrance you can actually read the names of the victims of the Holocaust.

We’ll also see the Raoul Wallenberg monument, which commemorates the Swedish diplomat who helped save thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis.
