Essential Copenhagen

On this walk we will take you to the must-see places of the Danish capital, those corners and photos that cannot be missing from your visit: the royal residence, the colourful houses, the centre of power and the royal square, among many other places. But our goal goes far beyond showing monuments: we want you to discover how Danes live, what their values are, why Denmark often ranks among the countries with the highest quality of life in the world and what makes this society so special.

At every stop you will find historical context, curiosities, surprising facts, local anecdotes and food and cultural recommendations to make the most of your stay in the city. We adapt to everyone because we like working with small groups. We guarantee you will want to come back to Copenhagen.
