Itinerary

Frederiks Kirke (Marmorkirken)

5 min Admission not included

The First landmark you will see is the Marble Church, also known as Frederik’s Church, one of Copenhagen’s most impressive architectural landmarks. Located beside Amalienborg Palace, the church is famous for its magnificent green copper dome—the largest church dome in Scandinavia. Construction began in 1749 but took nearly 150 years to complete. Here, you can admire its grand Baroque-inspired architecture and take beautiful photos of the church and its surroundings.
Amalienborg

5 min Admission not included

The next landmark you will see is Amalienborg Palace, home of the Danish royal family and one of Copenhagen’s most important landmarks. Built as part of the Frederiksstaden district, the palace complex consists of four elegant buildings surrounding an octagonal square with a statue of King Frederik V at its center. Here, you will also see the Royal Guards and have the chance to take photos near the palace.
Gefionspringvandet

5 min

The next landmark you will see up close is the Gefion Fountain, one of Copenhagen’s most impressive fountains. Located next to St. Alban’s Church, it shows the Nordic goddess Gefion driving four oxen in the legendary story of how Zealand was created. Donated by Carl Jacobsen and unveiled in 1908, it is a striking symbol of Danish mythology and history.
Kastellet

The next landmark you will see up close is the Gefion Fountain, one of Copenhagen’s most impressive fountains. Located next to St. Alban’s Church, it shows the Nordic goddess Gefion driving four oxen in the legendary story of how Zealand was created. Donated by Carl Jacobsen and unveiled in 1908, it is a striking symbol of Danish mythology and history.
The Little Mermaid

10 min

The next landmark you will see is the Little Mermaid, Copenhagen’s most famous statue and one of its most visited attractions. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, the statue was unveiled in 1913 and sits quietly on a rock by the harbor. Today, it stands as a symbol of Denmark’s storytelling tradition and Copenhagen’s close connection to the sea.
Copenhagen Opera House

5 min Admission not included

The next stop is the Copenhagen Opera House, also known as Operaen. Located on Holmen, directly opposite Amalienborg Palace, it is Denmark’s national opera house and one of the city’s most striking modern landmarks. Designed by Henning Larsen, it was completed in 2004 and officially opened in January 2005. It is especially known for its dramatic roof overhang and richly decorated interior.
Nyhavn

10 min

The next stop of the tour is Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s most famous canal. Built in the 17th century to allow trading ships to sail directly into the city center, it is known for its colorful historic houses and old wooden ships. Once a busy commercial harbor and lively sailors’ district, today Nyhavn is one of the city’s most photographed places and a symbol of Copenhagen’s maritime history and culture
Christiania

15 min

The next place you will see is Christiania, a unique and culturally diverse area founded in 1971 on former military land after the Danish army left the site. Known for its colorful houses, creative lifestyle, and strong sense of community, it has developed its own identity, including the red flag with three yellow dots. Very different from the rest of Copenhagen, Christiania represents an important part of the city’s modern social and cultural history.
Church of our saviour

5 min Admission not included

The next landmark you will see is the Church of Our Saviour, one of Copenhagen’s most striking churches. Completed in the late 17th century, it is famous for its dramatic Baroque tower and distinctive golden spiral staircase, which winds around the outside of the spire to the top. Added in 1752, it remains one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.
Circle Bridge

5 min

The next landmark you will see is the Circle Bridge, a unique pedestrian and bicycle bridge designed by the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. Opened in 2015, its design features five connected circular platforms with tall masts that resemble sailing ships. It connects Christianshavn with the historic city center and stands out as one of Copenhagen’s most creative modern landmarks.
Christiansborg Slot

5 min Admission not included

Our next stop is Christiansborg Palace, one of Copenhagen’s most historic and important landmarks. Located on Slotsholmen, it is at the heart of Danish political life and houses the Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister’s Office, while still being used by the Royal Family for official events.
Radhuspladsen

5 min

The next stop is Rådhuspladsen, one of Copenhagen’s main public squares. Here you will see City Hall, completed in 1905 and designed by Martin Nyrop. Inspired by Danish medieval and Italian Renaissance styles, it stands as one of the city’s most distinctive examples of National Romantic architecture.
Tivoli Gardens

5 min Admission not included

The next stop is Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, opened in 1843. More than just a theme park, Tivoli combines rides, gardens, live music, restaurants, and magical evening lights in the heart of Copenhagen. Its historic charm and intimate atmosphere make it very different from modern amusement parks.
The Round Tower

5 min Admission not included

The next stop is the Round Tower. Built in the 17th century by King Christian IV, it was part of a larger scientific complex that reflected Denmark’s strong tradition in astronomy and learning. Instead of regular stairs, the tower features a unique spiral ramp that gently leads to the top, making the climb easier than many visitors expect.
Rosenborg Castle

5 min Admission not included

The next stop is Rosenborg Castle, one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful Renaissance landmarks. Built by King Christian IV in the early 17th century, the castle reached its present form in 1624. Surrounded by the King’s Garden, Denmark’s oldest royal park, Rosenborg is a fine example of Dutch Renaissance architecture. Today, it houses the Danish Crown Jewels and other royal treasures, offering visitors a glimpse into centuries of Danish royal history. Adjacent to the castle are the barracks of the Royal Life Guards.
