Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Hoejbro Plads - Look for the orange umbrella!

We meet outside of the metro, between the stairs and the statue! Please arrive a few minutes before the tour starts to check-in, otherwise we cannot guarantee you the tour.

Discover the rich origins of Copenhagen– and the key historical figures involved.

  • Nikolaj Kunsthal - It’s a church! But what kind of church?
    In this stop you will learn about the great Copenhagen fires.
  • Stroeget - See where the longest pedestrian-only shopping street in the world is.*

*Not personally verified, but definitely in all of Denmark!

  • Copenhagen King’s Square - From this location, we will have a good view of some of the most beautiful buildings in the city. We will talk about the statue at its centre, and some of the buildings.
  • Magasin du Nord - See this French-inspired building. This is one of the biggest department stores in Denmark.
  • Hotel D’Angleterre - Where do the rich and famous stay when they’re in the city? Here’s your answer!
  • Royal Danish Theater (Kongelige Teater) - This is arguably one of the most impressive buildings in the square. Find out who the statues up front are!
  • Nyhavn - This harbour is the birthplace of many histories and stories! It’s more than a post card, but the buildings are definitely only worth looking at but not necessarily heading into them.
  • Amaliegade - Home to the embassies, even of one of our most dreadful foes.* This stop is about WWII and Denmark. We won’t spoil it for you in advance!

*Historically.

  • Changing of her Majesty’s guard at Amalienborg Castle - This is the square where the Royal residences are. There are changing of the guards every 2 hours, but if your tour starts at 11, we arrive just in time for the big one of the day at noon!
  • Frederiks Kirke (Marmorkirken) - The marble church! Probably the most beautiful one in all of Denmark. This is where we end the tour, although there may be some variation between each guide. All ending points are a 5 minute walk away from here.

Great, funny tour - Great tour! It gave me a good history of the city and the country. Also taught me many things I didn't know. It is NOT for children, but for adults, it's a fun time. This is my first time in Copenhagen and I would highly recommend. Sebastian was my tour guide.
