Tour description

Starting from Kongens Nytorv Metro Station, our walking tour embarks on a journey through the heart of Copenhagen, showcasing its vibrant history and culture.

Our first destination is Nyhavn, the iconic 17th-century waterfront, bustling with colorful facades and historical wooden ships, a perfect spot for photographs and to soak in the maritime atmosphere.

We then proceed to Amalienborg Palace, the winter residence of the Danish royal family, where we may witness the changing of the guard ceremony, a tradition that dates back centuries.

Our path leads us next to the Marble Church, known for its impressive dome, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city.

As we continue, we'll stroll through the historic streets, arriving at the Rosenborg Castle, a renaissance marvel housing the crown jewels.

At the end of the tour, we’ll visit the King’s Garden, a calm green space in the heart of the city. As we walk, I’ll share stories and insights that reveal both the history of Copenhagen and the character of the city today.
