Free Grand Tour of Copenhagen
♡ Save
Our original, three hour city walking tour, taking you right through the heart of Copenhagen with its famous sights, historical facts, and exciting stories!
Copenhagen has a rich history as a major city on the edge of the Baltic. It grew from a little fishing town to the capital of Denmark, and survived fire, plague, invasion, and just about everything in between.
Now Copenhagen is known as a culture capital, a hub for design and experimentation, a place for foodies, and a land of fairy tales. Join our Grand Tour to hear how Copenhagen became the fantastic city it is today. Learn about warrior bishops, kings, and queens, the best place to get Danish smørrebrød, and why the Danes are called the happiest people in the world!
