What To Expect
Frederiks Kirke (Marmorkirken)
The Marble Church – an architectural masterpiece in the heart of Copenhagen We meet between the stairs leading down to the Marble Church Metro Station, right next to a 7-Eleven, making it an easy and convenient spot to find your guide before we begin exploring this elegant area. Discover one of Copenhagen’s most iconic landmarks, the Marble Church (Frederik’s Church), celebrated for its magnificent dome, the largest in Scandinavia. Inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, this architectural gem took more than 150 years to complete and is built from striking Norwegian marble with beautifully detailed craftsmanship throughout. As part of our Copenhagen walking tour, it’s a highlight for anyone who loves architecture, history, and culture, and a perfect place to pause and admire the charm of Frederiksstaden, the royal district surrounding the church.
Nyboders Mindestuer
Nyboder – Copenhagen’s historic naval quarter and hidden gem Step into the story of Nyboder, one of Copenhagen’s most distinctive neighborhoods, founded in 1631 by King Christian IV to house Denmark’s naval families. As part of our Copenhagen walking tour, we stop by the small Nyboder Memorial Rooms, a true hidden gem in Copenhagen, where you can peek through the windows and glimpse scenes from centuries past. Inside, the preserved museum spaces reveal the everyday lives of sailors and their families, with original artifacts, uniforms, and maritime relics that tell the story of Denmark’s proud naval heritage. A quiet, authentic corner of the city that captures Copenhagen’s history in its purest form.

5.00This was an excellent walking tour. Our tour guide Maybritt was fantastic and personable. Easy to follow the stories and history. You could tell she really enjoyed sharing the stories of Copenhagen and we learned so much. I would highly recommend this tour! Loved being able to end in an Nyhavn, an area with lots of places to eat and we could have done a canal tour easily afterwards.
