Copenhagen on Foot

4 HoursStrenuousRefreshments | Walking | Sightseeing | Essentials Collection

Start your refreshing walk from the cruise pier along the water towards the city center. Pass the rocks where the famous Little Mermaid sits, continue along to the 17th century coastal fortification of Kastellet and see the nearby Gefion Fountain. Walk past Churchill Park and the Museum of Danish Occupation and into the district of town known as Frederikstaden. You will continue along the waterfront until you reach the Amalienborg Palace, flanked by the massive Marble Church on one side and the royal seaside garden of Amaliehaven on the other. Walk to a local venue nearby for a refreshment stop and enjoy some coffee and Danish pastry. Continue on to the colorful Nyhavn canal district: the oldest part of Copenhagen’s harbor. Leaving Nyhavn behind, continue on to the King’s New Square, flanked by noblemen’s palaces, the Royal Theater and the historic Hotel D’Angleterre. Entering the beautiful Kongens Have (the King’s Garden), you will soon see Rosenborg Castle, probably the quaintest and most fairy-tale-like of all Copenhagen castles. Next, make your way through the quaint yellow naval barracks of Nyboder, built in the 1630s to house naval personnel and still inhabited today. Skirting the back of the Kastellet coastal fortress, you will soon find yourself back on the cruise pier.

Please note: The cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces of Copenhagen are not wheelchair friendly; there are no ramps. Tour may operate in reverse order.

Copenhagen: Dragoer Fishing Village

3 HoursModerateRefreshments | Culture | Essentials Collection

Leave the bustling capital of Copenhagen behind for an entirely smaller and quainter destination, Dragoer fishing village. Dragoer is located on the southeastern coast of the island of Amager. Dragoer was an international marketplace for merchants who came there every year to buy the herring with which the sound abounded. It developed into a prosperous shipping town until the end of the 19th century. Dragoer has many very well preserved historical buildings due to extensive preservation efforts and local legislation making the town largely pedestrian as early as the 1930s. The old part of town is cozy, with a picturesque maze of alleys with yellow painted houses, red tile roofs and cobblestone streets lined with colorful hollyhocks. Many of these buildings are hundreds of years old. Enjoy a guided stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets and have some free time to appreciate the quaint and peaceful atmosphere. Finish your visit with a refreshment stop at one of the lovely old inns for coffee and Danish pastry before returning to Copenhagen by bus.

Please note: The tour may operate in reverse order.
