The chairman's word
SJUF: The gathering point for the Jewish youth of the Nordic countries!
This is where you meet new friends, reunite with old ones, meet your spouse to-be for the first time, have the party of the year and hopefully get challenged and inspired by an interesting daytime program.
In the planning of this years SJUF we have put an effort into the latter.
I believe that with the daytime program we have arranged for this year, we will lift SJUF to a new level of great.
But don’t worry. This will not be at the expense of the banquette and New Years Evening.
We’ll laugh, we’ll dance, we’ll party, we’ll get inspired and challenged and then maybe, just maybe, we’ll cry. But not until the 4 days are over and we have to say goodbye.
On behalf of this years SJUF team, I welcome you to Capture Copenhagen!

Copenhagen
The coolest, most cosmopolitan, most exciting and, yes, the most wonderful city in Scandinavia, in short:
Welcome to Copenhagen.
The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen — København in Danish — has no glittering skylines and hardly any of the high-stress bustle common to most capitals.
Throngs of bicycles glide along in ample bike lanes at a pace that's utterly human. It is no coincidence that CNN named Copenhagen one of the cities of the future, it is even called Copnhagenization, which means to prepare your city for the environmental challenges of tomorrow.
The early-morning air in the pedestrian streets of the city's core is redolent of freshly baked bread and soap-scrubbed storefronts. If there's such a thing as a cozy city, this is it.
Be it sea or canal, water surrounds Copenhagen. A network of bridges and drawbridges connects the two main islands—Zealand and Amager—on which Copenhagen is built. The seafaring atmosphere is indelible, especially around the districts of Nyhavn and Christianshavn.
Copenhagen is small, with most sights within 2½ square km at its center. Sightseeing, especially downtown, is best done on foot at an unhurried pace. Or follow the example of the Danes and rent a bike. That said, excellent bus and train systems can come to the rescue of weary legs.
Nothing is rotten in Denmark anymore, as the days of Shakespeare are long gone. The Danes have been dubbed the happiest people in the world and Copenhagen has topped charts of “highest quality of living” over and over again. The Little Mermaid is still here, and the fairytale of capturing Copenhagen is soon to be yours.

Map
Sightseeing
Start your experience at Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn and head up the pedestrian street of Strøget in the direction of Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square).
Kongens Nytorv and Rådhuspladsen are the two main squares in the city center, in which the longest pedestrian street in the world, Strøget, runs in-between.
You can detour to see the exteriors of Christiansborg, Børsen, Rundetårn and Rosenborg Slot along the way. If you're not up for a walk, one of the guided canal tours will give you a good sense of the city.
In summer or around Christmas time, round off your day with a relaxed stroll and nightcap in the world famous amusement park Tivoli Gardens.
With additional days in Copenhagen, plan to spend time inside one or more of the following: Rosenborg Slot, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Nationalmuseet, Statens Museum for Kunst and Kastellet.

Nightspots are concentrated in several areas including in and around Strøget.
On Vesterbro, with its main drag on Vesterbrogade just across from Tivioli Gardens and on Istegade where you'll find some of the trendier bars and cafés.
The area just off Kongens Nytorv on Gothersgade is also a nightlife hub.
Nørrebro has lots of student cafés and bars, many around Sankt Hans Torv, and there are some upscale spots on Østerbro.

Shopping
A showcase for world-famous Danish design and craftsmanship, Copenhagen seems to have been built with shoppers in mind.
In fact, the city name Copenhagen - København in Danish - actually means the "merchant's harbor," because it was once a major center of trade.
The spirit of those days remains with countless specialty shops in almost every corner of the city. The best buys are such luxury items as amber, crystal, porcelain, silver and furs.
Danish clothing design is now coming into fashion and is considered one of the nation's most important exports.
