Amagertorv, today part of the Strøget pedestrian zone, is often described as the most central square in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Second only to Gammeltorv, it is also one of the oldest, taking its name from the Amager farmers who in the Middle Ages came into town to sell their produce at the site.
Amalienborg Palace is a must for anyone with a taste for royal history and the life of Denmark’s royal family who still resides inside the palace.
The Round Tower The 17th century tower and observatory Rundetaarn, or the round tower, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe. When Christian IV built the tower, Denmark was quite famous for its astronomical achievements thanks to the astronomer Tycho Brahe. When he died in 1601, the King wished to continue Brahe's research, and thus the round tower came into being. It has been a while since the scientists left, but the observatory is still used by amateur astronomers and the many visitors. The observatory is encircled by an outdoor platform from which you have a magnificent view of the old part of Copenhagen.
Christiansborg Palace is a palace and government building on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the seat of the Danish Parliament, the Danish Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court of Denmark.
The Copenhagen Cathedral in its present shape is an unpretentious building in Neo-Classicist style designed by the architect C.F. Hansen. The foundation stone was laid by King Frederik VI in 1817, and the solemn consecration took place on Whitsunday 1829. However, the site of the present cathedral has housed a church ever since Bishop Absalon, the founder of Copenhagen, had a small chapel built on the premises. The original church was erected at the highest point in the town around 1200.
From distance - Tivoli, also known as Tivoli Gardens, is an amusement park and pleasure garden in Copenhagen, Denmark. The park opened on 15 August 1843 and is the second-oldest operating amusement park in the world, after Dyrehavsbakken in nearby Klampenborg, also in Denmark

Karoline was an excellent guide. Very friendly, informative and fun. Tour was a nice smooth pace and it did not feel rushed at all. We are so glad we did a walking tour as we could ask questions along the way and of course chat to a local about life in Copenhagen. Another plus was that it was a nice small group.
We had an exceptional experience with Bob. We felt very welcomed and comfortable right from the start. Bob was a wealth of information about Denmark and the city of Copenhagen. He used this knowledge to give us a broader understanding as to how Copenhagen evolved and sustained itself through history and its current standing in this country and the world. Bob did not just share facts but put them in context of how this city and country evolved and sustains itself. We covered a wide range of topics from literacy rates, recycling, government, etc. So this journey with Bob was more like a story rather than just a presentation of facts. He is a very easy going guide and I enjoyed my time with him. I walked away with so much more knowledge as well as having a great human interaction. Hope everyone gets to have a Bob experience when visiting Copenhagen.
It was a great tour and Alex our guide was like our great friend, historian and philosopher. A very passionate and learned man, he always spoke from his heart fondly doing his job. God bless. Always ask him as your guide
Bob was excellent with the group. Easy to understand and a genuine love for the city
Rachael was great, patient and took it at the right pace for those walking. She asked if we needed the toilet or a coffee often and was very knowledgeable about the city and the history. We went up the Round Tower (not on horseback!) and shopped on the Main Street after Rachael told us about them. We enjoyed a danish pastry and hot drink together at the end! Thanks Rachael! I think the only worry for me was finding the start of the tour. Previous tours we’ve done we were told what the guide would be wearing or holding a bag etc.
Great guided tour. Bob is so nice and very knowledgeable.
Great tour with Bob. It was fast paced and we covered a lot of ground. It was a good tour to get orientated to Copenhagen, but not suitable for those not able to walk quickly.
Caroline our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and very nice. Loved answering questions that our group may have. Highly recommend.
Really good overview of Copenhagen. Thank you Bob for the great tour and you turned on a beautiful sunshine day!
This was a great tour! We loved meeting up with other travelers from all over the world. Bob (our guide) was friendly and informative. Lovely to do on your first days in Copenhagen.👍🏻
Very informative and enjoyable. Bob was an excellent guide and accommodated my special needs. (I am 86 and walk with a cane.)
Great way to get acquainted with Copenhagen. Saw all the major sights in old town area in 3 hours. Guide (Aasa) was friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend this to others.
Aasa was a very thorough and knowledgeable guide to the highlights of Copenhagen. We did cover a lot of ground in 3 hours, so this tour isn’t for the faint of heart — or feet! I would, however, recommend this to any first-time visitor in order to get a solid overview of the city, plus some good recommendations for shopping and snacking from a guide like Aasa.
Fantastic tour and guide Aasa! Saw a great cross-section of Copenhagen and learned a lot about the city, including places to further explore.
Copenhagen is a beautiful city. Our guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and informative. We saw a lot of beautiful places and he made it easy to understand the history of the city.
We felt so fortunate to have the small group that we did and to have Alex as our guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, as a lon g time resident with an insatiable appetite for the history and landscape of copenhagen and his obvious joy to share it with others. His timing was the spot on and we couldn't have been happier with our very first city tour.
Dan was great! It was an insightful tour about the area and our guide knew a lot about the history and the different time periods!
Great walking tour of Copenhagen! Dan was a fantastic guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Alex gave a terrific non-stop tour of central Copenhagen with all major sites plus the changing of the guard at the palace.
I especially love the shortcuts through the city and discovering new pathwa,s and routes that only a local can impart.
Our guide Bob was very knowledgeable and articulate. We walked by all the major sights in central Copenhagen and his explanations and insights about the city were very informative. We thought the tour was very worthwhile.
Bob was Fantastic. So knowledgeable. And really packed a lot into a short period of time. Great at providing history and interesting stories. Loved it!!
My friend and I appreciate Aasa. We had difficulty finding the meeting location, and she graciously guided us to the group. She was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Copenhagen on the walking tour. We used that information to navigate the city during the rest of our stay. We also appreciated the information about places to shop and to eat.
Alex was so wonderful!!! Really enjoyed our tour!!
Our guide - Rachel provided us with a wonderful walk around parts of Copenhagen that we had never seen, at a pace that allowed us to really take in the sites and a guide that allowed us to understand what we were looking at. Arranging for the organ to be played when we entered the cathedral was just icing on the cake….
Alex was a great guide with a good sense of humor, in depth knowledge of city, and brought out the best in the group. Good recommendations of other activities and good to experience in Copenhagen.
Great overview of Copenhagen. Enjoyed the walking tour. Assa was a good guide. We were able to see many of the highlights and get a good feel for the city.
Our guide was Daniel and he was wonderful, full of knowledge about the city and area. He was very clear and easy to hear and comprehend. He was very good!
Alex gave our group of 9 an excellent overview of Copenhagen and Denmark, including history, lifestyle, politics and landmarks. It was a very professional tour. Alex answered all questions thoughtfully.
Price worth the value. Rachel was a true delight and one of the best storytellers I have ever seen. She personalized the tour according to our needs and preferences and the 3 hours just flew by. Highly recommend.
An easy walking tour through the tourist district of the city. Interesting, and our guide was informative, pleasant conversation and knowledgeable about the city and its history.
Great tour. Walk through much of copenhagen and got a good description of the history and neighborhoods
Our tour guide Daniele was outstanding! He was very personable, very energetic, very knowledgeable, a good listener and told very interesting stories! I highly recommend him!
Daniele is an excellent guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, ran the tour at the perfect pace - even allowed for a coffee stop. Perfect English (he also speaks Italian, Spanish and Danish of course). Would thoroughly recommend Daniele and the small group walking tour as a way to learn some things you otherwise would not, and to orient yourself in Copenhagen quickly and enjoyably.
Our guide Dan made our walking tour unforgettable! His depth of knowledge included art architecture culture and history. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience. Highly recommend booking with Dan!
Great way to get feel of Copenhagen. Our tour guide Dan gave great insights into Copenhagen history as well as information on visiting other areas of the city and good restaurants
Rachel was a friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Answered any questions and gave us great insights into past and present life in the city. Highly recommended.
Rachel was entertaining and very full of knowledge @10,000 steps Highly recommend this small group tour
Our guide Rachel was wonderful. Knowledgeable humorous and helpful. Must do activity if you want to explore Copenhagen in a day
Wonderful. Guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We saw the best of Copenhagen. Excellent tour.
We had a great experience with our tour guide, Caroline. The tour was interesting, fun, and gave us a fantastic look at wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. Caroline was the ultimate tour guide. She knew the city like the back of her hand and had a terrific presentation. Our tour had 5 people, making it an intimate experience. In three hours, we became well connected with this fabulous city!!! Thank you Caroline!!!
Today we went on 3 hour walking tour of Copenhagen with the lovely Asa as our guide. She endeavoured to give us a comprehensive and entertaining tour, despite the rain. Her knowledge of the city and of Denmark’s history was of a high standard, adding personal anecdotes along the way. The pace was suitable for 2x 70 year olds. Even giving us comfort and a refreshment break. A very pleasant and informative 3 hour experience.
Our guide was lovely and she gave a good tour.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the the 3-hour walking tour. Our guide Bob was friendly and very knowledgable. He shared interesting history and stories about the city and Denmark overall, while fitting in numerous sites around the city. The tour was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting!
Morgan gave an excellent tour Joyous historian full of info Great small group Took care of everyone’s needs
The guide Karoline was very nice
Aasa was great. She made sure we learned all about Copenhagen and that we were all comfortable with asking her any questions or information about the city. As a first time visitor, Aasa took her time with the group and made this such a pleasurable experience and overall great tour. If you looking for a great, personable tour guide, please ask for Aasa! She’s the best!
Aasa was a Wonderful informative guide. Courteous and respectful. Made sure we were all safe with bicycles. She was flexible with a few choices of what direction we wanted to go in. Aasa g ave us a few recommendations of what we could see on our own. Highly recommend Aasa. 😊
Excellent tour led by August who was very informative on all aspects of his country and Stocholm.
Aasa did a great job very knowledgeable and patient. Answered all questions and made sure we kept a good pace while enjoying the key sites. She helped us get started and Copenhagen and I don’t hesitate to recommend her
