On this 4-hours walking tour, you will explore the cozy old Copenhagen and make three stops along the way to taste iconic specialities such as the famous Smørrebrød, the Danish Hotdog and pastries.
The tour starts in the Latin Quarter with its small quaint streets, making your way to the Round Tower, a 17th century observatory with sweeping views of the city from its top floor. Continue strolling past Christiansborg Palace, which houses the Danish Parliament and Royal Reception Rooms, before passing Rosenborg Castle, once the Summer residence and love nest of our King Christian 4th in the 1600s.
After a stop for coffee and pastry, your guide will show you Nyhavn, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic sights, with its stunning harbour canal lined with colorful houses and traditional Danish restaurants. Nyhavn is one of the locals’ favorite places year round, loved for its charm and Danish “hygge” environment.
You’ll get insight into local food culture, everyday life, history and stories that only an experienced insider can provide.
