Overview

  • Explore old Copenhagen the way you would with a local friend. Your host is a Copenhagener who has lived here for many years, the group is never more than 12, and the pace is easy, with time for your questions along the way. We start at the Marble Church and wander through Nyboder, the yellow naval houses built for sailors' families, past Rosenborg Castle and the Round Tower, into quiet Gråbrødretorv and on to Christiansborg.

    We end in Nyhavn at a table we have reserved for the group, in a classic restaurant owned by the same Danish family for generations, serving traditional Danish smørrebrød and other classic Danish dishes. Stay for a bite or a drink if you like. Food and drinks are not included, and there's no need to buy anything. It's the perfect spot to ask your host for personal tips for the rest of your stay.
