Private Copenhagen and Kronborg
Get up close and personal with Denmark’s capital city as you tour Copenhagen on foot. Your journey begins as you are picked up by your guide at the port and driven to the Old Town of Copenhagen where you will be greeted by the Little Mermaid, a bronze statue more than a century old that is a favorite with tourists. Walk to Royal Square and marvel at the four identical palaces and watch the historic sailboats on the canal at New Harbor Street. As you stroll down Stroget, one of the longest pedestrian areas in the world, you will see medieval streets, Parliament, and the Old Stock Exchange building. The Round Tower with its equestrian staircase and St. Nicholas Church with its 90-foot Neo-Baroque spire never fails to disappoint. Enjoy beautiful views of Amalienborg Palace and Christiansborg Castle and be sure to throw a coin into Gefion Fountain at the harbor front for good luck!
After an optional coffee break you will hop the train for a scenic ride to Kronborg Castle. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this building has been in existence since 1420, and legend has it the castle was the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Conclude your 7-hour tour back in Old Town where you can return back to port or stay in the city center to further explore Copenhagen on your own terms.
Book now and get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty and history of Copenhagen.

Charming Copenhagen is the jewel of Denmark and a delightful stop for any traveler. Well-known as an eco-friendly haven for sustainable and green living, Copenhagen has embraced its status as the best “bike city” on earth and promoted the use of bicycles by locals and tourists. Hop on a bike, electric bus, or train to easily traverse and explore this colorful and historic city. Copenhagen has its share of iconic landmarks and visually stunning architecture. The oft-photographed Little Mermaid sculpture, whose pensive frame overlooks the harbor, is inspired by the work of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen and has come to symbolize the city. The Nyhavn canal is perhaps the most famous attraction in Copenhagen, where vibrant 18th-century townhomes in hues of red, yellow, pink, and blue line its waterfront. The splendid Tivoli Gardens are an absolute must-see; millions of visitors delight in thrilling amusement park rides and captivatingly lush gardens. Take a seat at the Tivoli Concert Hall or Glass Hall Theatre to watch operas, classical music and rock concerts, or stand-up comedy. Sightseeing, shopping, and dining opportunities abound in any of Copenhagen’s fourteen distinct neighborhoods! Vestebro, the city’s former red-light district, is now a trendy hub for designer boutiques, authentic and Michelin-star eats, and Copenhagen’s nightlife scene. Go for a swim in the harbor baths of Islands Brygge or venture a little further from the city center to the Amager neighborhood, where you’ll find Denmark’s National Aquarium and Amager Beach, a summertime favorite. There are plenty of historic and cultural sites to pique your interest, too. Breathtaking royal dwellings like Rosenborg Castle, a Renaissance gem that houses the country’s crown jewels, and Amalienborg Palace, the queen’s rococo-style abode and a vast royal museum, beckon you to revel in the enchanting world of vintage Copenhagen. The city’s Round Tower, a 17th-century observatory tower, provides spectacular views of the city and informative exhibitions on Danish art and science. There is so much to discover and savor in Copenhagen, Denmark! |
