Copenhagen Free Tour: From the Little Mermaid to Christiania
♡ Save


Feel the essence of Copenhagen on this tour of contrasts. From the classic elegance of the Little Mermaid to the vibrant counterculture of a unique social experiment, discover Danish history and rebellion in one unforgettable tour!
Discover Copenhagen on a unique tour that connects two of its most emblematic places: the iconic Little Mermaid and the surprising neighborhood of Christiania.
This tour will allow you to learn about the evolution of the city while you explore its history, culture and way of life today. We will start next to the famous Little Mermaid, symbol of Denmark and a key point to understand the origins of the Danish identity.
From there, a journey through time begins: the history of Denmark from its roots to the modern city, its relationship with the sea, its urban development, its monarchy and its transformation into one of the most livable cities in the world.
During the tour you will see harbor areas, historical spaces and urban areas that show the evolution of Danish design, sustainability and everyday life.
The tour ends in Freetown Christiania, Europe's most famous self-organized neighborhood, where you will learn about its origins in the 1970s, its alternative social model and its unique identity.
On this tour you will not only see the main highlights of the city, but you will understand how Copenhagen has evolved from a modern, sustainable and alternative capital.
