Customisable Royal and Historic Walk Through Copenhagen

  • Start your day by delving into Danish history at Rosenborg Castle. Built in the early 17th century by King Christian IV, this Renaissance castle boasts a remarkable collection of royal treasures, including the Danish Crown Jewels. Marvel at the opulent interior, stroll through the beautiful gardens, and imagine the royal life of centuries past.
  • Take a leisurely walk from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace, the official residence of the Danish royal family. Witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony, where soldiers in their iconic bearskin hats march to the tunes of a military band. Explore the elegant square surrounded by four identical Rococo palaces and learn about the fascinating history of the Danish monarchy.
  • Next, head to Nyhavn, Copenhagen's iconic waterfront district. Admire the colourful 17th-century townhouses lining the canal as you stroll along the quayside. Stop for lunch at one of the many charming cafes or restaurants offering traditional Danish cuisine. Take a scenic boat tour to see the city from a different perspective and soak in the lively atmosphere of this historic harbour.
  • No visit to Copenhagen is complete without a glimpse of the iconic Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale. Walk along the waterfront promenade to reach this petite yet powerful symbol of the city. Snap photos with the statue, which commemorates Andersen's enchanting story and has become one of Denmark's most visited attractions.
  • Make your way to the beautiful Gefion Fountain, located near Churchill Park. Marvel at the grandeur of this impressive fountain depicting the Norse goddess Gefjun driving her oxen. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of the sculpture and the significance of its mythological theme.
  • Afterwards, visit the Church of Our Lady, a striking neoclassical church in the heart of Copenhagen. Step inside to admire its elegant interior adorned with stunning frescoes, sculptures, and ornate altarpieces. Learn about the church's rich history and its importance as the cathedral of the Diocese of Copenhagen.
  • Conclude your royal adventure with a visit to the historic Old Stock Exchange, a magnificent example of Renaissance architecture. Admire its distinctive spire adorned with the intertwined tails of four dragons and explore the charming courtyard surrounded by colonnades. Learn about the building's role in Danish commerce and its architectural significance.
  • Finally, wander through the vibrant streets of the Latin Quarter, known for its eclectic mix of shops, galleries, and cafes. Immerse yourself in the bohemian atmosphere of this cultural hub, filled with street performers, artists, and students. Browse boutique stores, sip coffee at a sidewalk cafe, and soak in the creative energy of one of Copenhagen's oldest neighbourhoods.
