The 15 Best Walking Tours in Copenhagen

40 reviewed

Everything worth seeing in the centre sits inside forty minutes on foot, so the guide matters far more than the route. These 15 walks are compared on group size, distance covered and how much of the ticket goes on a coffee stop.

4.Group Walking Tour – City Highlights – 2 Hours

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,088 reviews · 2 hours · from $39

Politically Incorrect Copenhagen highlights in 2 hours. Walk Nyhavn and Amalienborg with bold humor and simple logistics.

“The tour was enchanting. Our guide Roger was very artistic, with a theatrical touch and a very balanced, intelligent and quick humor, and really funny. It's easy to listen to so many facts about the history and life of the city and Denmark like this. In addition, the cool atmosphere they create makes it easy to meet other travelers and mingle.

Humor-filled 90-minute walk through Copenhagen’s Christianshavn and the edge of Christiania, with an English guide and standout local stories.

“Perfect day to walk through Copenhagen and Christiania. Our tour guide was very fun and entertaining. He didn't hold back. He was a wealth of information regarding an area that is rich in history and stories. Christiania is going through a huge transition (weed" is no longer sold on Pusher Street), and he provided all the details behind why. Guides aren't allowed in Christiania, but after the tour was over, he took a walk through the area while giving some food and beer recommendations. My only complaint was it was Caribbean night in Nemoland the day we were there. Nothing says Denmark like Caribbean night :) If you like to…”
