If you are going to get to the heart of hygge, you need to go back in time. We begin our Hygge & Happiness tour near the characteristic yellow houses of Nyboder, a famed local district. Here you’ll meet and greet your native guide and your group for the day. Your native guide is a bona fide Copenhagener who is super excited to share their knowledge of Danish culture with you, as well as local historical secrets that you won’t find in any guidebooks! And because our tours are for small groups only, your guide has plenty of time to answer
Copenhagen
Your tour takes you through the oldest parts of the city, where you experience hidden gems in the form of cobblestone-filled streets, timber-framed houses, and green refuges of calm amongst the urban sprawl. Krusemyntegade is one of the cobblestone-filled streets that just scream hygge with that old world charm. It’s a great example of how hyggelig our city can be if you just take the time to wander.

This was a wonderful tour. Instead of just a history tour of sights, you get an insight into the culture. There are land marks but the sense of being a from Copenhagen is what this tour is about.

The casual walk through the city with 3 separate stops for pastry, chocolate and coffee, was a great way to see the city highlights. Therese was extremely informative and helpful with suggestions and always willing to discuss/explain Danish culture. This is not a fast paced tour to see every city highlight, but instead is a nice walk through various parts of Copenhagen. We would recommend this tour to first time visitors to the city.
