The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at the Danish Jewish Museum

Both cards cover full entry. The thing to plan around here is not the price but the days it opens, which change with the season and catch people out.

Copenhagen Card
What's included
Discover & Hop
✓ The permanent exhibition — four hundred years of Jewish life in Denmark
✓ The Libeskind interior itself, which is as much the visit as anything displayed in it
✓ Included on both cards — Discover and Hop alike
At your own cost
Not included
Both cards
✗ Food and drink, which the card does not cover anywhere
✗ A second visit. One scan per attraction, so the card opens this door once
Inside

What to see at the Danish Jewish Museum

A small museum with a floor you notice before the exhibits, behind the Royal Library in the Library Garden. Allow an hour.

Highlight 1
A building you walk through at an angle

Daniel Libeskind built the interior around the Hebrew word mitzvah, and the floors and walls are deliberately out of true. You feel the design in your balance before you read a caption, which is a rare thing in a museum this size.

Highlight 2
Four hundred years, told small

The collection covers Jewish life in Denmark from the seventeenth century onward, including the October 1943 rescue that carried most of the country’s Jews to Sweden. It is a national story that the National Museum does not tell.

Highlight 3
The Library Garden

It sits in the garden behind the Royal Library, a walled square most visitors to Slotsholmen never find. The Black Diamond is a few minutes away on the water, and both are on the card.

Before you visit

Read before you go

The opening days are the thing to get right, and they are not the same all year. Confirmed against jewmus.dk.

In winter it closes for two days a week, not one
  • From September to May it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, opening Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 5pm. Almost nothing else on the card shuts for two days.
  • From June to August it closes on Mondays only, opening Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
  • That makes a short autumn or winter trip the risk. A 48-hour card starting on a Monday cannot reach this museum at all for three-quarters of the year — worth checking against how many days of card to buy.
What it costs without a card
  • Adult admission is €13 (100 DKK), students pay 50 DKK and children are free.
  • jewmus.dk lists the Copenhagen Card as free entry, so there is nothing to arrange in advance.
  • The price was missing from the 2026 museums folder, which is why this site carried no figure for it until the museum’s own page was checked.
Finding it, and what is beside it
  • It is in the Library Garden behind the Royal Library, not on the street — allow a minute to find the entrance.
  • There is no parking beside the museum. BLOX and Slotsholmsgade are the places to leave a car, if you are driving rather than using the card.
  • The Black Diamond and the Danish War Museum are both minutes away on the same island, and both are on the card.
Getting there

How to get to the Danish Jewish Museum

Slotsholmen, in the garden behind the Royal Library. Ten minutes on foot from the centre, and covered on both cards for entry.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Bus 26 to The Royal Library, then a short walk into the Library Garden. The fare is covered.
✓ Metro M3 to Gammel Strand and about ten minutes on foot across Slotsholmen.
✓ About 15 minutes on foot from Copenhagen Central, through the old centre.
✓ From the airport — train or metro to the centre, then bus 26. All covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✓ Entry is included on the Hop card — the museum is covered by both.
✓ The hop-on hop-off routes serve Slotsholmen, so the museum is reachable on that card.
✗ Bus 26, the metro and the airport train are not covered on the Hop card.
The rest of Slotsholmen
  • The Black Diamond is on the water a few minutes away — the building is free to enter, and the card covers its exhibitions.
  • The Danish War Museum is in Christian IV’s Arsenal on the same island.
  • Thorvaldsens Museum and Christiansborg complete the group, all within ten minutes on foot.

It covers The Danish Jewish Museum along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.

Powered by GetYourGuide

Or take the guided Jewish Quarter tour

No one sells this museum's entry ticket on its own. This is a private three-hour walking tour of the Jewish Quarter with a guide, ending inside the museum with entry included — several times the €13 door price, because you are paying for the guide and the walk. The Great Synagogue is seen from outside only; it cannot be entered on the tour.

Common questions

The Danish Jewish Museum — card FAQ

Is The Danish Jewish Museum included with the Copenhagen Card?

Full entry is included on both the Discover and Hop cards, covering the permanent exhibition and the Libeskind interior. Adult admission without a card is €13 (100 DKK), students pay 50 DKK and children are free.

Is The Danish Jewish Museum open on Mondays?

It closes on Mondays all year, and on Tuesdays as well from September to May — a two-day closure that catches out short autumn and winter trips. Summer hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm; winter hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 5pm.

Do I need to book The Danish Jewish Museum in advance with the Copenhagen Card?

Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in. The entrance is inside the Library Garden behind the Royal Library rather than on the street, so allow a minute to find it.

Can I visit The Danish Jewish Museum twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. An hour covers it, and the Black Diamond a few minutes away counts as its own attraction and its own scan.

How do I get into The Danish Jewish Museum with the Copenhagen Card?

Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
