Overview

Skip the dry guidebooks and explore Copenhagen with a guide who knows the “royal tea” and the city's best-kept secrets. Our 2-hour walking tour through Old Town blends iconic sights with hilarious, offbeat stories that bring the streets to life.

Starting at Christiansborg Palace Square, we’ll dive into power struggles and scandalous history before wandering medieval streets towards the waterfront. From the origins of Bishop Absalon at Højbro Plads to the stylish chaos of Strøget, you’ll see centuries of architecture and modern Danish life side-by-side.

We’ll pass Nikolaj Church and Kongens Nytorv before hitting the showstopper: the colourful houses of Nyhavn. We wrap up at the Amalienborg Palace Complex and the stunning Marble Church, showcasing royal elegance and clever design.

Led by fun-loving experts, our tours prioritise laughs over lectures. Join Rosotravel for a walk full of “wait… seriously?!” moments and memories you'll quote for months.
