You will see the Royal Palace, parlament, Nyhavn and all the other world famous sights. You will learn the history of how Copenhagen was founded to protect trade routes, how it became the largest city in Scandinavia and how it works today.
Our guides are friendly, funny and knowledgeable locals that are fluent in English.
The walk is 3 kilometers (=1.8 US miles) and we pass by all the most important and interesting places in Copenhagen. When the walk is over you can either go back to your hotel. Or you can go for a canal tour and a drink in Nyhavn. Or walk to Rosenborg Palace to see the Crown Jewels.

5.00Thoroughly enjoyable walking tour. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Denmark. It was a small group which allowed him to respond to many questions while keeping us engaged. The walk was at a good pace and we weren't rushed at all, the group appreciated the extra time. A perfect start to our short break in Copenhagen. Please pass on all our thanks.
