The Complete Guide to a Kosher Trip to Stockholm
Stockholm's Jewish community, one of Scandinavia's oldest, centers around the impressive Great Synagogue in the city center and the Södermalm neighborhood, home to the Chabad house. From there, it's easy to walk or take public transit to Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town. Here's a short guide to planning your visit.
The Great Synagogue and Chabad House
The Great Synagogue of Stockholm (Stora Synagogan), consecrated in 1870 in an impressive Moorish style, is the community's central synagogue, with a mikveh alongside it. Adat Jisrael and Chabad of Stockholm on Gotlandsgatan serve additional parts of the community.

Gamla Stan — best early in the morning
Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town on a small island dating to the 13th century, is one of the best-preserved historic centers in Scandinavia — with narrow stone alleys and stunning colored façades. Practical tip: arrive early in the morning, before 9am, to experience the main square (Stortorget) nearly empty — by daytime it becomes one of the busiest spots in the city.
