The Original Christianshavn Copenhagen Tour
♡ Save
Join a 90-minute long free walking tour through the charmingly quirky Christanshavn area. Featuring impressive churches, historic battle sites and the story of the famous free-town of Christiania.
The Christianshavn Tour is our most popular alternative tour, beginning at Højbro Plads and exploring the island of Christianshavn, which was built as a separate city from Copenhagen.
It is now a great neighborhood with an eclectic mix of residents. The tour ends just outside the gates of Christiania, where you can wander at your own will.
Our tours are free to join, we kindly ask that you tip the tour guide directly at the end of the tour based on what you think the tour is worth! Our tour guides also have credit card readers, giving you a more convenient and safe way to pay your tour guide directly.
