Half-day guided bus tour

At the forefront of design and contemporary architecture, the Danish capital blends tradition and modernity. The Rosenborg Castle, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, contrasts with the modernity of the Black Diamond Library or the Opera House. In alignment with the latter, you can observe the central square of Amalienborg Palace and the Marble Church (Marmorkirken). Heading towards the star-shaped military fort of Kirkepladsen, you will also catch a glimpse of the true symbol of the city, the statue of the Little Mermaid.

Canal cruise

Opt for a different perspective of the city by taking the water route.

Starting from the Nyhavn district, famous for its colorful houses, you will board a boat heading towards the Dokøen district to discover a series of long business buildings, with terraces and large windows overlooking the river. After waving goodbye to the Little Mermaid once again, you will head towards the canals of Christianshavn, also lined with colorful houses. Finally, you will enter the narrow Frederiksholm Canal, surrounding Christiansborg Castle, the Danish Stock Exchange, and the Thorvaldsen Museum.

Return to the small port of Nyhavn, where it's pleasant to stroll along the canal.

Bike tour

Copenhagen is a city where cycling is very popular. It is therefore very easy to rent a bicycle, with or without electric assistance, and the city is very safe for cyclists.

Start at Kongens Nytorv square and head west towards the central station, København H. Then head north and circle the five lakes that surround the city center. Take a few moments to ride through the Kartofelrækkerne district, with its typical English architecture. Head back towards your starting point, passing by the Botanical Garden, Rosenborg Castle, and Kongens Have park.

Activity
Tivoli Gardens

An amusement park that inspired Walt Disney to create his own park in the United States, the Tivoli Gardens are located in the heart of the city, close to Rådhuspladsen square.

With the entrance fee, you can stroll through its pathways and move from one scene to another. The park is indeed considered the world’s first theme park.

Depending on the season, the overall decoration, shows, and entertainment change. Tivoli Gardens are therefore highly appreciated by the Danes, all year round.
